Gel induced labour experiences please?

[pollydolly]

Being induced today (waiting in hospital now!) due to no fetal movements.

Experiences? I'm a tad worried and a bit sad I don't get my water birth but I just want my little boy to be okay!

Thanks girls x

I got a half dose of the gel to prepare me for induction the following day and contractions started within 30 minutes. Baby was here within 12 hours.

Good luck and hope both of you are okay x
