If propess failed you- how did the rest of your induction go?
This is my 2nd pregnancy. I had our first little one naturally after a spontaneous labour at 41+2.
I'm on hour 46 now with the induction for our second little one at 41+1, with a second propess being taken our in 3h.
Started with an unfavourable cervix at 40+6 (2cm long, 0.5cm dilation but shut on the other end fully). After the first propess cervix didn't thin at all, but now dilated 0.5cm on both ends. Hoping there's enough for a sweep or foley balloon this time around.
First pregnancy labour 9h into real contractions (1 min on 1 min off) I was also only 0.5cm dilated.
In 14h adter that (23h total) I got to full dilation however.
The problem is getting those first real contractions. I'm getting painful tightening 3-5 times in 10 minutes but it's not legit contractions, nor are they regular.
What was your experience if propess failed to progress you sufficiently? Good and bad experiences welcome.
Please share especially if your cervix too was not cooperating too well with the hormones.
I had 2 rounds of propess, didn’t work, tried to sweep, couldn’t do it, tried to fit balloon also couldn’t do that so the last option was a c section, which I ended up doing as i was so sick of being in hospital for 4 days, I personally wish there was something else I could have done as it was a difficult recovery, I’m just lucky I had such an amazing support system around me, feel free to message me if you want being in hospital is so isolating but remember no matter how you birth your baby you did it ❤️
