everyone!

now let me start by saying im not concerned about needing intervention nor am i worried about asking for intervention....

so a bit of a back story....

i have cervical incompetance, hence my angel baby...

so when we fell preg with DD, i knew i needed a stitch put in and thats no problem.

generally with IC and having a stitch removed u go into labour within 48hrs.... not me i requested to be induced on the tuesday, my stitch came out on the friday...

so i clearly dont need the gel to soften my cervix coz its as soft as pureed apple with no stitch keeping it together

so when i was induced my waters were broken and i was given 2.5hrs to get thing moving by myself before the syntocin drip was started, fine by me, so i got walking and things started happening, but not quick enough for my OB's liking ( now i want to add i know i could have asked for more time BUT i was mentally drained after a rough 12months and didnt have it in me to argue my point, and was quite happy to follow his suggestions) so the drip was put up....

now what id like to know is, IF i need to be induced next time, chances are slim mind you, i can ask for more time before the drip yes??
and if yes, how long can you have before infection becomes a risk??

my OB has said im at a higher risk for infection in general because thats what was the final straw was in my loss with DS, infection got in and i got extremly ill and my body gave up......

im more just curious and want to know what my options are seeing i know ill dilate ok its just the contraction side of things that ill need a boost with....

thats a bit jumbles really sorry, hopefully your all mind readers and can work out what im rambling about!
