Induced Labour Experience

Hi mommies! I'm soooo excited for the arrival of my firstborn! I'm at 37 weeks today and during my checkup , doctor told me that he will be inducing labour on my 40th week. Next checkup onwards will be checking cervix for dilations. My question is : 1) is it painful to go through induced labour compared? 2) There's no underlying health issue for both me & baby but doctor suggested for induced labour as he said he doesn't want to me to wait too long and doesn't want baby to overgrow , is it okay to just go with the flow? (First time mum so idk what is it like) 3) how long does Induced labour take (the process & stay at hospital) 4) I'm a subsidised patient at kkh and have yet to meet with anyone in regards to my admission and etc, will this be done on the admission day itself? Any tips/advises for me? All inputs welcomed ? TIA

Super Mum

My gynae planned to induce on my 39th week but baby couldnt wait and came at 38+5 =p so indont have any advice to offer on induction. But i was a subsidized patient at kkh and yes everything will be done on admission. You just have to bring your husband along and hospital bag, let him have your NRIC, the administrator will guide him through the process.

I stayed in B2+ ward and yes you do have to pay upfront..i think it was about $3.5k (i can't remember whether this was paid upfront or final bill) and later on reimbursed to medisave
