My first labour was induced due to being almost 2 weeks overdue. I was over it and apparently my uterus was contracting but I couldn't feel a thing.

My induction went well and the best thing were the midwives. I couldn't have asked for better. They told me everything and supported me in every decision I made. My DH was useless as he hates hospitals (his mother spent a lot of time in them before she passed away) but I knew this. The fact he was able to force himself to be there when hospitals make him physically ill was something I will always appreciate.

My suggestions are keep a positive mind and 'know' it will go well. Follow your bodies lead. Tell your support person what you need if you know at the time.

How they induce you will depend on how ready your body is. It could be gels, they could break your waters and put you on the syntocin (sp?) drip. My understanding there is a variety of ways so talk to your ob about what is the most likely.

Good luck with the induction!
