[QUOTE="Elc1112, post: 1244018, member: 32988"] How exciting! Totally agree with everything that Azure said above. I was induced five weeks ago and it was definitely a lengthy process! Make sure your birthing partner knows what you are am what you aren't happy with - really handy in case you are a bit too exhausted to comic ate coherently towards the end! My induction was, unfortunately, not successful so I ended up having a c section. I was unlucky, though, as absolutely nothing had happened after grew pessaries and 36 hours. I went in saying I definitely didn't want a c section. I ended up so glad and relaxed as they were takin me to theatre, though. Your preferences definitely change throughout the birthing process! I had loads of hypos post delivery. Make sure you have loads of lucozades or similar. Although the hospital will be able to provide things for you, it's useful and much more convenient to have your own stuff to hand. Once your baby has been delivered, use the time in hospital to rest. The midwives will help as much or as little as you need them to - make the most of it! Ask lots of questions and make sure you are comfortable before you go home. He part of the process I found most uncomfortable was having my cervix checked. The first time was uncomfortable. The first pessary made everything much more sensitive so the second check was quite painful. If t happens to you, ask for gas and air. It doesn't stop the pain but it does take the edge off and gives you something else to focus on. Hope all goes well! Em x [/QUOTE]
