    I'm home now thank god, was absolutely dying to get out of that hospital! Bit sore alright but managing it, to be honest at this stage I am just so happy to be home I'll take any pain :P how are all you guys doing with your bundles of joy? Trying to resist the urge of holding mine constantly while she sleeps, I know I should be putting her down to get her used to it but it's soooo nice to cuddle them while they're sleepy :):)

    I know that feeling well! Feels like a prison being stuck there and when your that uncomfortable you want your own bed and shower!

    I don't buy into that don't hold the baby bull! Hold your baby when you want and don't listen to anyone else. You know best!

    The first night my baby was with me on the ward after being in icu from birth a nurse stuck her head round the Curtain that night and told me to put the baby down! I nearly decked her lol my baby had been taken after birth and put in a plastic box for days with very little human contact. The last thing I was doing was putting her down!

    Congratulations again! Enjoy every minute :-)

    Hi cinloom. I was induced last week on. 4th baby, all inductions. I was placed on monitor for around half an hour when I arrived. The consultant gave me an internal and broke my waters at 9am. Baby born at 1pm. Had waters broken on 2 babies and the gel inserted for other two. All went well with the 4 labours. The longest was 4 hours, the shortest 15mins with the rest somewhere in between. Hope this helps.

    I've never been induced but my waters went this time and I was admitted to a ward where other ladies were being induced. In the day and night I was there 2 had their babies and one lady had the gel applied twice end it failed so she was going on the oxytocin. I gathered from all that that the gels work for some and not for others.

    I was induced recently. 3rd baby but 1st induction. They broke my waters the first day at around 9 but I think on first babies they go for gel or pessary on first day. Anyway breaking the waters started contractions but didn't progress anything but I think that's because I was only 37 weeks that day and baby wasn't quiet ready to exit lol next day I was given oxy. My contractions were so strong within minutes of having the oxy that they had to turn it off and she was born 3 and a half hours later. I don't know what your planning regarding pain relief but I had none on 1st daughter and it was a 6 hour labour and absolute walk in the park but with the oxy I was asking for an epidural within an hour. My contractions were as the midwife said "absolute whoppers" they said they normally give it before the oxy because the contractions are so strong but they did get the epi for me very quickly once I realised I was going to need it!

    Ah snoopy, why is that? Is everything ok? Or is cause baba is on the move now and the house seems like a death trap?
