induction at 39 weeks?? I want to hear your stories!

Question

I'm due 11/13 and opted for elective induction due to severe back pains. I'm going in Saturday night at 8pm to begin induction. I'm 3cm dilated, 80% effaced and the baby is station -2. I'll be exactly 39 weeks when they induce. First baby.

Answer

Do you know how they are inducing you? Starting with pitocin or cervadil? I have been induced twice with cervadil (which is used to help soften your cervix so they may not have you use it) but it put me into labor both times. Got it in at night and had my babies by the next morning. My water broke with my first and I got put on pitocin because I wasn't progressing and that labor/delivery was awful compared to my inductions.
