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!

    • Naaah, it's rubbish - it would be a change of use so would need planning. https://www.planningdirect.co.uk/planningappeals/affordable-planning-applications/change-of-use/commercial-to-takeaway-change-of-use There's not enough footfall for a McDonalds, anyway, and they're quite picky about their sites 
    • So let's never do anything that might improve an area, because it will just be dragged down to the level of what's presently there? Is that what you are saying? I don't have the time or the inclination to do the research, but I'm pretty sure that I have read  that when people who had lived in a very run down area  were given  nice surroundings, they appreciated and looked after them.
