i had insulin dependent GD and was induced with gels at 39 weeks. i had the first lot put in at 3pm which started a few mild contractions then another lot of gels put in at 10pm which ramped things up but still bearable. at 12.55am i rolled over in bed and my waters broke on their own - no further induction methods were used. by 1.00am i was in active labour and DD was born vaginally with no assistance, no tears at 8.00am

GL!!
