Oh my god! Being induced!
It's so surreal! Unless something happens naturally today I will be induced this time tomorrow morning! In some ways I really hope I go naturally today but I am not at all unhappy about my decision to be induced because I don't I could stand being pregnant with pre-labour signs any longer!
If I hadn't had those signs (irregular contractions, loss of mucus plug, 3cm dilates) I prob would have continued on my merry way for a while but the last 5 days I have practically been house-bound with a few short trips and no fun plans just in case I did go into labour.
Few questions:
1. How long after you were induced did you actually give birth?
2. Once you had the gel on did you also have your waters broken or did they wait a bit?
3. How bad is it really having waters broken?
I guess that is my main concern - being in intense pain because it was brought on. I always said I didn't want to be induced becuse I heard it was far more intense but now that I am here I don't mind too much!
It's also exciting cause only our parents and about 2 friends know it's tomorrow. Keeping it a surprise! And I love the date - 29-09-09! Not as good as 09-09-09 but close enough!
