I was induced at 37 weeks for cholestasis. I went in at 2 pm and they started my IV and gave me a cytotec since I was only 1 cm dilated and 60% effaced. They said that I would get checked again at 10 pm. Well immediately I started to get crampy and have contractions which I was excited that my labor might actual progress pretty quickly... I could not have been more wrong! They didn't end up checking me again until midnight due to deliveries on the floor. But I was only a tight 2 and still only about 70% effaced. So they started me on cervadil. 😫 whew the crampy contractions from that and remnants of the cytotec were no joke. Plus they wouldn't be checking me for 12 hours! After being up all night having big and long contractions but not dilating. I needed some meds to take the edge off and let me get some rest. They gave me Stadol (IV narcotic) and that knocked me out for two hours of much needed sleep. At the shift change the new doctor checked me at 9 am and I was 2-3cm and about 90% effaced so they decided I was far enough along to start pitocin after the cervadil was out at 12. Well at 9:30 my water spontaneously breaks! I'm thinking labor is finallyyy going to get moving! 😒 not so much.
