It depends!


My first induction took well over a day (and more than one pessary) to work. Went into hospital noon on Friday, didn't have baby until early afternoon Sunday.


Second time round only one pessary was used at around 11am, had baby early hours the next day.


Hope it all goes well for her!

Hi Samstopit - well it could be a few hours (if Mum was already starting to go into labour when they began the induction), or it could be a few days (more common), if the pessary doesn't work to start contractions after 24-36 hours, then they'll start a drip to make them happen, if that doesn't work after 6 or so hours then they'll go to Caesarean to get the baby out. However all sorts of things can might happen along the way to throw this process & these timings out.


Sorry I can't be more helpful. Congratulations on your impending "Auntie-hood"!

I just had the one pessary, I went in at around 2 or 3pm ( cannot remember exact time) and I gave birth to my little man the following day at 3.39pm. It didn't feel that long, I actually thought it was morning when I gave birth but alas it was afternoon!


Good luck, hope you have a quick and easy one!

It can also be extremely fast. My mum was induced when she had me and it took only a few minutes before the contractions started! When the contractions came, apparently they were very heavy/intense and fast, which left my mum rather shocked as she wasn't expecting it. So it's still possible that you'll be an auntie today!

It probably depends on where she's having the baby. Kings use Propess, which is a tiny pessary that releases a controlled hormone release into the body. if not in labour after 24hrs the situation will be re-assessed. It's relatively new so there is not much publicised data. Certainly anyone who is that far overdue should respond well; but pregnancies, deliveries and babies are as individual as we are.


Hope it goes well for her.:)

She's at Kings.


When she arrived at the hospital they nearly sent her home again because she had a show the night before and had some hopeful signs. But was only 1cm dilated so they kept her in.


As luck would have it I'm meant to be going on holiday tomorrow!

    • If a pedestrian gets hit by a bike, it can be very serious. All it takes is someone not spotting a cyclist coming up at speed.    Clearly, no one wants a collision. so let’s just make it easier to be seen and for everyone to be safe. Bike lights (front and back), helmet lights, reflective strips on your backpack, high visibility clips on the ankles, wrists, lights on your spikes… it’s not hard and it shouldn’t be expensive. I’m just wondering if cyclists haven’t yet adjusted to the darker evenings and don’t actually realise. Perhaps cyclists don’t drive but would benefit from doing so and seeing what it’s like from a drivers point of view.  All cars had lights on.  One of the Boris bikes didn’t, it must have been broken as I thought they were automatic.
    • The other thing is that the money the council makes from the festival is not spent in the local area, whereas money made from events in other parks are. Renata Hamvas would have to approve any change to the premises licence before the events team can consider a license for the proposal in the current form. There needs to be an organised local pushback this time, to at least stop that second weekend being granted. I am thinking along the lines of a door to door petition. There are local elections next May. Lot's of opportunity to make this an election issue for impacted wards around the park. Just need to be orgaised. 
    • yes.. I think it has. I prefered it when Everyone Active had the contract..and an additional benefit was being able to acess other EA gyms across London. Plus I think the equipment in the gym was of better quality.
    • Mad that on a thread about the telegraph (and are we saying they  are a paragon of reporting? Are we?) it just happens to be the bbc and only the bbc copping the flak headnun - I’m not sure your point about despicable people “hanging themselves” holds up in a world where despicable people appear to be taking over in so many places  for too long, these people have been given equal airtime to normal people, creating a false equivalence - the result being a lot of people seem to think “well if one person thinks smoking is bad for you and one person thinks it’s good for you, who am I to say who is right and wrong”
