My husband and I came to the hospital this morning at 5am to be induced. I was started on pitocin right away and my doctor broke my water shortly after. I was able to last four hours with contractions until they became to unbearable and was given the epidural which was a LIFESAVER. I was 3cm at that point. After two hours my doctor checked and I was up to 8cm... Within the next hour I started having a lot of pressure and sure enough I was up to 10cm and 100% effaced. I pushed for 1 1/2 hours and finally my sweet baby girl was born!
