Is Gel A Better Option Compared To Intravenous Induction?
I am 26 years old. I am carrying my second baby. I was induced intravenously with my first kid and then ended up with forceps to bring him out. Is gel a better option compared to intravenous induction? will gel reduce the labour time? or is it in any way suggested to be a best option than drips?
