KG - I was induced also, and it was not a horror story, although I know how you feel doing the reading.

I was 37.5 weeks and induced for medical reasons. Did the gels at 5pm on a Tuesday, we went off to our ante natal class, and I had a few cramps. Got a few hours sleep. ARM at 8 the next morning, then the drip around 2pm. Hit the shower at 4ish, the gas at 6ish and was weaned off that when I needed to start pushing. Bubs was out at 9.55pm on Wednesday. It was a long process, and I ended up with a cut and a tear as bubs wanted to come out waving to the world!!

There were some times I was more comfortable on the bed and some times I was walking around. In regards to the monitor, it got annoying when I was sitting up, and the midwife just used a portable one to check bub's heart beat after each contraction while I was sitting up on the loo pushing.

Good luck for Thursday!
