AFM the doc put in the hormone strip to start the induction. Wasn't too comfy going in
They're sending me home because they're really busy. I'd rather be at home anyways. Coming back at 5pm. I'm just hooked up to the monitors right now for an hour.
Finally got round to writing full birth story

Been 5 hours since they put the Cervadil in and I'm contracting every 3 to 6 minutes. They're painful, but not unbearable right now. My back is killing me!!
Well they sent me home again. I have to go back at 11pm. The Cervidil is causing contractions every 2-4 minutes. I don't know how they expect me to relax and rest between these.
Feeling quite scared at the moment! Sleep tonight's been quite broken, I feel a little sick, I'm running a temperature, my leg has been cramping badly and baby's not moving so much! Plus I have a bit of a headache, though that could be from lack of sleep! Think I'm bringing my temp down OK with a cool flannel but still a bit concerned! Ringing in when my daughter wakes up just to be on the safe side! Eek!
You should ask your care provider. It depends on the method of induction. Either way though, you should at least have your bag in your car just in case things move quickly. I think it's more common to stay than to be sent home though.
I'm happy to announce that I had my baby girl this morning at 08:25! We've called her Annest Ceridwen and she weighs 7lb 9oz! It was all a bit of a whirlwind really- from getting to hospital to baby born in less than 2.5 hours! So very, very different from last time! We both have to stay in for 48 hours for antibiotics but otherwise we're both doing well, just a bit shocky still! Will do a proper birth story when we're home and settled!
Good luck to everyone still waiting on their new arrivals, especially those for whom it's fairly imminent!
