Hi all,

Just a question about induction gel. If I wanted to be induced, could they try the gel once or twice and if nothing happens and if my waters are still intact can we then leave it and go no further with induction??

I've got another post about my grandad dying and his funeral will probably be on 6th Jan in Coffs Harbour (6hrs from here) so if I don't go into labour and have peanut in my arms by the 4th I will not make the funeral... so what we were wondering is if I ask that if I don't go into labour before the 4th or even the afternoon of the 3rd, if we can try 2 lots of gel to see if that can put me in labour. I am not wanting to go the whole way to the drip etc because of the complications etc that can occur, but as long as I know that if nothing eventuates from it, I can be left to go into labour naturally, I am happy to try the gel.

If I don't go into labour trying the gel at least I will be at peace with knowing I did everything I could to try to be there at the funeral.... whereas if I don't try and don't make it, I will be devestated and very very stressed which could cause more harm to me and baby.

I appreciate the help girls!!
