Have you confirmed that you'd be induced with the syntocin? I think there are a few other types of inducement out there but don't quote me on it. I think docs breaking your waters is also a form of inducement isn't it???

I was induced with a cervix gel first and went into labour 8 hours after it was applied. You can move around normally with the gel but not sure if you can get in the bath with it?

I however, had all the contractions come to a hault about 12 hours into labour with no real progression although I was having about 45 second contractions about 1 minute apart for a good chunk of that, but bub still hadn't engaged and cervix was barely 3cm - lucky me.

Anyway, I then had the Syntocin and it was pretty painful in comparison to what I'd felt the previous 12 hours. I needed the gas with it but about an hour or so later I had an epidural, not so much for the pain but because it was highly likely a c/s was going to be needed at that stage (and did).

So I would say yes you can move around & pee with the gel.

Once I had the epidural, I had a catheda, don't recall getting it when the syntocin went in but really I was pretty weary by that stage.

Best of luck.
