Hi girls, my waters broke on Monday and I am being induced today 😊 I thought I might go naturally yesterday but baby is staying put. I was really scared about being induced but spoke to a lovely midwife yesterday and I feel more positive about it today 😊

38 weeks 😊

Best of luck!

hi cow love.
I'm in the same boat . waters went yesterday. I'm being induced tonight. I really wanted to go into labour myself but nothing happening. I'm a bit nervous of induction too.

bouncing on my ball and walking the corridors but no progress. I never thought I'd be hoping for contractions.

Ms Tootsie

Oh I missed that! Goodluck Carraig. Hopefully we will have some baby news here soon!

God it makes me feel like my pregnancy is never ending! I am only 35 weeks and DD is the very end of Aug.

Good luck Cowlove and Carraig, hope the inductions go smoothly! My friend had an induction on her baby born in the spring and no forceps needed

catchery

Just to say ladies i had an induction and no intervention after my waters were broken! Just do your breathing, keep calm, laugh ( i know but try) and listen to your midwife x the very best of luck again to you both cowlove and carraig x

Best of luck carraig! I was the same walking corridors and bouncing yesterday trying to go naturally but it wasn't meant to be.

Congrats cowlove and carraig! Delighted to hear you both are doing well along with the new little arrivals, brilliant news.

Actually 2 questions come to my mind now, maybe you can enlighten my baby brain :-)

1. Providing the labour goes fine, can you still be released quickly enough from the hospital, or does the induction and earlier labour mean that mom and baby need to stay in the hospital longer?

2. In my case, and I suppose it might be similar in the case of our new mammies :-), my maternity leave is only officially starting in August. If they do induce me next week and the baby is born sooner than the mat leave starts, will I need to advise the dept of social protection about the earlier birth? And will that mean that my mat leave will start, and therefore ultimately also finish, sooner?

hospitals will generally let u out when ever u dictate.
I'm going home tomorrow. I could have gone home today but I wanted to get breastfeeding feeding established and I didn't get much sleep last night so I was happier to stay.
I found that the nurses left it up to me.

I don't know re earlier start of mat leave. If u ring the maternity dept of social welfare I found them v helpful re dates etc.

hope that helps. best of luck.
