Induction stories?

Question

I was induced due to high blood pressure two years ago with my son but I’m more nervous this time around with my daughter. I’m being induced Thursday at 5am. I know this is silly bc everyone is different but when do you think I’d have the baby? Doctor seems to think I’ll have her by the afternoon.
Also how soon could I get the epidural and how long does it last for? I don’t wanna get it too early and by time I push it wear off.

Answer

I was induced with Pitocin, 60% and 3cm when I went in at 8am. She was born 8:23pm. They broke my water and after an hour or 2 I was still at 4cm 60%. Then all of a sudden I felt like I was dying with terrible cramping even with the epidural. I was 9cm and 100% within another 10 minutes I was ready to push. Second time moms can go from nothing to baby us coming so fast ! My dr had instructed me to get an epidural before they break my water because of that.

Answer

I got Cervidil and had him 14 hours later, 10 hours after actual labor started (no Pitocin)

Answer

I was induced with cervidill - 12 hours later they started pitocin. At 24 hours I begged for an epidural because of the cervical checks not even the contractions (I never actually could feel them) they broke my water right after the epidural was in place and then I started fevering at 48 hours so I demanded a csection for the safety of my baby. He very narrowly escaped a nicu stay.
