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

Induced is painful.at 40 weeks my waterbag broke. Stuck at 3cm for many hrs and my baby start to poop in my tummy so doctor gave induce medication. So yes! It is painful. All labours are painful and whoever that says not painful is lying! Until i got my epidural cos i can no longer take it, then i don't feel the pain. But the pain comes back during stitching . For admission wise u can choose the ward and make partial payment first i think. U can head to the admission counter to enquire. But even if u didnt do anything , lets say suddenly give birth, they will get your husband to do the admistration for u when u arrive in the hospital. So nothing to worry! 😊
