dont let her be pushed into a c section! thats the best advice i can give, many hospitals who want to get patients in and out will push for this. when you are in pain and exhausted it seems a good idea at the time BUT i wish i had not agreed to it, although in mycase it turned out if i hadnt my bub may have died (prolapsed cord) but just be aware that it can be a lengthy process, i was in labour for 2 days with three doses of the gel and still nothing. but everyone is different. GOOD LUCK!!!!
