I gave birth there in 2021, was induced after water breaking and having high blood pressure. It was generally a really positive experience, always had midwife with me and infact 2 at one point because there was a student! induction made things happen very quickly for me and I did tear which is no fun. I think unless there is a medical reason to induce, this time around I want to wait xx
I gave birth there in April 2024 and was induced, they were so helpful and lovely I’d say for me after they tried to induce me with the pessary I was in labour for 3 days so I chose to have my waters popped at 2cm as I just wasn’t dilating 🤦🏼♀️ just be prepared it can be a very long process… x
Aww! All your birth stories at Frimley sound so so positive 😊 I've got a membrane sweep on Monday & if that doesnt work will have to book in an induction at Frimley. I just hope they give me the epidural thats all feeling super nervous xx
@Yassmin I had the epidural and it was such a positive experience for me x
@C. Im going into Frimley today for induction, quite nervous esp for the pain Cx
@Yassmin don’t worry yourself too much! The actual induction itself does not hurt but please advocate for yourself I was on day 2 and didn’t want to keep waiting as my dilation hasn’t progressed so I requested to have my waters popped <3 you’ve got this and just remember it’s all worth it by the end of it xx
@C. Thank you xxx so kind, how long was it for you from when they broke your waters to birth?
@Yassmin it was a good few hours so my waters were broke around 2am and I had my LG at 12pm — I’d say that I was trying to hold off the epidural so I didn’t have the epidural until later on but I found once I’d had the epidural and I relaxed the process went a lot faster xx
No induction as ended up having C section last Oct, even now I still think about the midwives at Frimley and how amazing they all were x
I had induction at Frimley and had a lovely experience. Prepare for it to take time though. I went in Saturday morning started induction at 10am labour finally kicked off Sunday around 3pm and he was born 5am Monday. The staff were lovely in all departments and I couldn’t fault them. We were also home by Monday evening. If you have any questions feel free to msg me x
I gave birth there and they were lovely same with the maternity ward I didn't have an induction but all the staff were lovely even when I ended up having a c section x
