Whats an induction like?

Question

Have an induction scheduled for next Friday. I know it might differ from hospital to hospital but I was wondering what happens during an induction?  And do they break your water or give pitocin first considering my current dilation? Also, how soon can I have my epidural? I am already dilated to 3-4 ish.

Answer

I was induced at 40 weeks, 4-5 cm dilated. Pitocin was started at 3 am, doctor broke water at 730. They said I could have epidural whenever I wanted, my contractions were not bad until he broke my water then I got  the epidural. I had my baby at 543 pm

Answer

I checked into the hospital at midnight and started Cyotec at 1am. Pitocin was started around 7am, doctor broke my water around 7:30am and I got my epidural around 8am. I napped off and on until the doc checked on me around 11:30am. I was 10cm and ready to go. Doc got prepped, I pushed for maybe 10 minutes and my little man arrived at 12:04pm.

Answer

Had my daughter on the 10 via induction. Started cytotec (not sure if that's how to spell it) at 1am to soften my cervix went from 0% effaced to 50% effaced by 5am and startednthr pitocin and was 4cm dilated at 8am when the Dr broke my water, by 12 I was only 5cm. Decided to take a nap because I was so tired because I hadn't had any sleep. Woke up at 3:15pm was at 9cm and at 4:20pm my daughter was born. Only pushed twice for 10 seconds!

Answer

They started me on pitocin around 11 am. I was 2 cm when I came in. By 7 pm, I had progressed to 4-5, so the dr broke my water. Shortly after, I got my epidural. My contractions got more intense. I was at 9 cm by 11 pm. By 5 am, I was ready to push, and by 6 am, my son was born. Overall, my labor was 19 hours (which is apparently pretty decent for a first timer). Overall, it was a pretty smooth process for me. Good luck!

Answer

I just go Mizo which in a vaginal capsule that thins your cervix.
I got it at 1pm and they give me a capsule every four hours. They said I could be in labor 6-36 hours!

Answer

I'm getting induced in 4 days and with my first I started softening my cervix the night before 6pm and the next morning started pitocin at 9am, she broke my water at 1pm got my epidural at 4pm and had the baby at 8pm was 28hrs total it wasn't too bad this time I'm asking for an epidural earliest I can get. Good luck
