How quick did you deliver after an induction gel?

Question

I'm keen to here from those who weren't over due - il be 39 weeks tomoro when I'm induced

Answer

I had the gel 3 times then finally 6hrs after the last one, I went into active labor!

Answer

To update you on this post I went in and had propess not the gel in the end. Inserted at 4.30pm, went to bed at 9.30 and woke every hour needing the toilet. At 1.30 and 2.30 I also had the shakes and felt clammy. Went to the toilet at 2.30 and had a hemmorhage which they say was a good sign of labour starting although I lost more blood than normal. My contractions were almost instant half an hour later. I was 3cm at 3am and by 7am was 5cm. I got to that on paracetamol alone :) 
By 11am I wanted to push but due to some complications didn't deliver until 2.43pm. A total of 12 hours from insertion of propess induction but classes as 8.5hours labour (3 pushing) 
Good luck all. Totally worth it

Answer

I didn't have a gel so I can't speak for that. My induction was done w/ pitosin via IV. I was admitted at 6am, induction started at 8am, fully dilated at 7pm, finally delivered via emergency csect at 1110pm because baby was stuck. Good luck w/ your induction.

Answer

Just a little info about the induction gel--it's prostaglandin....and it's made from cow or pig sperm. 😳😳😳

My advice is (if you can) use your hubby's!  It does the same job (sometimes better) and you know it's all natural with no synthetic additives!!
