| good luck! I was induced too and I can honestly say, don't believe all the horror stories you hear. I had a perfectly okay birth. jake was born within 5 hours and I had pethidine and gas. No problems! Hopefully yours will be as straight forward as mine. And remember the end result - your new bub in your arms! |

goodluck! and i agree with lizzle.... dont listen to any horror stories about induced labours! i have been induced both times and had great births and fast too. they can sometimes take a while to get going into contractions, but mine didnt, started pretty quickly. i had one lot of the gel..... both times too.....
you'll be holding bubs really soon!
