I am getting induced.

Well the title says it all.
I am to be induced on Monday the 27th October which will make me 8 days over due.
I had a stretch and sweep done Thursday afternoon then last night started having regular contractions, very painful and 4 minutes apart.
Got to the hospital and they completely stopped.
I am dilated 2 cm and 50% effaced.
They think he is very ready to come out and has been trying but because he is semi posterior with his back laying along my side and him facing up he seems to be having a bit of trouble getting into the right position to put enough pressure on my cervix to make it dilate.
So they hooked me up to the monitors and his heart beat kept increasing, not enough for them to induce me straight away but it is of some concern so I am to be induced monday.
Hopefully things go well and I have my little bub soon.
Congratulations all the October mums who have had their bubs and I hope you're all doing great.
Good luck to all the ladies yet to give birth.
