Came in last night at midnight to be induced due to blood pressure and a rash. Do cervix softening pills lastnight. Was only dilated to a 1. So doctor put a balloon in my cervix to try to open it, it's been in for 4 or more hours, made me have lots of painful contractions. Might be dilated to a 2, it's hard to tell with the balloon. Now been on potocin for a hour or so and already got my epidural because the pain sucks, hope it last till I deliver!
