Does anyone have experience with the vaginal tablet induction?

Question

I've never been induced before, but every time I have heard of someone being induced, it has been through pitocin. Sunday night I go in to be induced, and the doctor said they will use a vaginal tablet of some kind to start. Does anyone have any experience with this? What should I expect? What happens and how does it go?

Answer

They did that with me on the 8th when i had my son. It didnt hurt going in anymore than a cervical check. It made me dialate to a 3 and then they gave me pitocin.
