Few questions:
1. How long after you were induced did you actually give birth?
16 hours, i was given 2 doses of gel. and monitored. i also wasnt dilated at all, i was enduced for pre eclampsia.

2. Once you had the gel on did you also have your waters broken or did they wait a bit?
my waters wernt broken, that happened after 14 hours of labour and no progression and i got my epidural and they spontaiously ruptured, think my body relaxed i was very nervous and in alot of pain.
3. How bad is it really having waters broken?
have been told as painfull as an internal. but i didnt get mine.

i can say the contractuions were hard and fast from the begining but i was able to shower and rock through them till exhaustion set in at 2 am.
