Anyone been induced? 1st time

Chloe

I've been in hospital since Monday, and will be for at least the next week. I'm being induced this Sunday because I've got pre eclampsia (only just been diagnosed Monday).

My plan was originally all natural so I've never looked about being induced, I'm having as what they describe to be a tampon looking thing inserted into the cervix? I can't remember the name. But any experiences? Things I can do to help dilate quicker etc :)
