Induced with pessary

Following! I had mine put in an hour ago. I had the pessary with my first baby, and I didn't feel anything but did manage to dilate to 2cm then I needed the gel x

I had the Pessary put in Friday at 3pm and had period pains up till it was taken out at 3pm the next day. It didn’t do anything and had to have the gel which then worked within 2 hours my waters broke on there own and contractions started x

I had the pessary last Monday. Really wanted to avoid any further intervention ie waters artificially broken etc. spent the day doing things i loved. Going for coffee, long walk, favourite tv show. At the 23hr mark (an hour before they wanted to take me to labour ward to have my waters broken) they broke naturally ☺️☺️ xx

I had the 24 hour pessary put in for mine, contractions started within 30 mins and were around 60/90 seconds apart and pretty intense, asking for pain relief 40 mins in!! I personally couldn’t cope with the pain after paracetamol, codeine and oramorph so pulled the pessary out after 4 hours to stop the contractions. Labour started again naturally for me 5.5 hours after pulling it out and labour lasted 1 hour and 14 minutes!
