Induction date

I am getting induced at 38+3 even though my blood sugars are normal baby measuring above 95th centile and they just don't want to risk it getting any bigger. Feel upset now I wanted to be closer to due date because in my head I felt it would hurt less if I was closer. Sarah how long from induction to birth was your labour? I know it's sad but friends baby was born day after induction I want my baby to have it's own day x

Hi Hun. Sorry to hear you are getting induced but honestly it's not as bad as you anticipate.
I was induced at 37 weeks and gave birth at 37+3. If you would like to know anything feel free to ask. Otherwise best of luck to you. Takecare. X

I know we've talked about it on my diary but didn't want you to think I was being rude not replying here. As you know, I was induced at 38+3 and Cole was born at 39+1 but I think my induction was kind of extreme in length as even the midwives were commenting on how long I'd been there other girls with GD came in after me and two even left with their babies before I was even taken to labour ward!x

Thanks Sarah I'm feeling optimistic I've started to loose my mucus plug ? so hopefully il go into natural labour but I'm aware it means nothing really but here's hoping lol x

Even if it means they can break your waters rather than having pessaries/gels etc it's better. I wasn't even a centimetre, I'd literally had no signs that labour was imminent. I honestly think I'd have gone over and ended up being induced anyway :/ x

Il keep you updated hehe x
