    Hi

    I was induced with pessaries (had two), then had my waters broke, then i was put onto the drip. The drip really speeds up the contractions and can make them quite painful, but i didnt have an epidural, just gas & air. If things arent happening they can keep increasing the drip (think they had to increase mine twice) My waters were broken at 12 midday, put onto a drip around 2-2.30pm and had my son at 5.11pm so it was quite quick actually.

    Hi hun I was induced with 2 pessaries and then a drip as they didnt work. The contractions were quite close together and intense but I managed 13 hours without anything and then had gas and air for about 5 hours and then needed an epidural because they were very intense. I had a 47 hour labour with a drip and they increased it 3 times but nothing happened, I couldnt have cared less at that point though as I had had the epidural so was just dozing and reading magazines!
