Induction Experience

Can anyone tell me about their induction experience at Lakeridge oshawa? I'm scheduled to go in on Saturday and just kind of want to know what to expect. My OB told me it is a 24-hour on call induction

I had my son there in June and had to be induced. Be prepared to wait, I had a scheduled induction and I think we had to wait 8 hrs or so.. there were quite a few emergency c sections when I was there and had to be prioritized over my induction. Wishing you all the best!

I had one for my little girl 5 weeks ago. They call you when they aren’t busy in the birthing suit and it’s typically about 30-60 mins notice. They called me around 6pm on a Tuesday but they were quite busy that day so hopefully you won’t have to wait all day! I ended up calling them twice because I thought they forgot about me lol I was getting anxious haha I wasn’t dilated at all so I started with Cervidil then told to go home for 12 hours (I went back earlier because I was having regular contractions), then given the foley balloon and told to go home and come back when it fell out or after 12 hours. After that, I was dilated enough to be admitted and my water was broken after that.
