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

Hi mommy! I understand you posted this a while ago and you might have already delivered your baby. Could you please share how did things go with you? Did you give birth at wk40 with induced? Or were you able to wait till naturally? Did you use epidural? How was the pain level? I'm FTM and currently week 35+6. I'm a little worried and scared

Hey Mei, if you have time better select the ward in advance. It still depends on the availability on the actual day. But you will have one less thing to worry about 😀
