I've been in hospital since 12.30pm and they inserted the pessary to at 2pm to get things started. So far I've only had period type cramps and a few tightenings, nothing too painful. So I have had this thing in for 8hrs now. Can anyone give me any stories and to whether or not it could speed up really quickly or what? Or is it going to be slow like this forever? Anyone been through the same thing I would love to hear from!
