Cervical ripening pill?

Question

Tonight I'm going in for the cervical ripening pill then pitocin in the morning if that does nothing, I'm a little over 41 weeks and 1cm dialated. Has anyone had this? Is there any side effects and how does it work?

Answer

You sound exactly like me. I was 41 weeks and was admitted to the hospital that evening to start the cervical pills. The only side effect I got from the pill was some cramping and you are not allowed to move for an hour after they put it in. I eventually had to do the pitocin drip the following morning because the pills were not dialating me or starting labor. Best of luck to you!!
