Answer

I was at 0 dialtion when I got Induced. So it's was the entire next day for me. I got induced 2:30 on a Monday. They gave me mine right before they broke my water so I was at 4 cm and that was around 12 on Tuesday afternoon. They broke my water at 1:20 and I was still at 4 cm 90 % effaced. I delivered 2 hours later.

Answer

I was induced with #2. I'm not going to sugar coat it... it's a hell of a lot more painful than natural labor. But I went in with the mindset that I didn't want an epidural and guess what? I pushed through it. Tell yourself you can do it and you will.

Answer

I was induced last Friday. I went in at 7am they broke my water at 8am. I was 2.5cm, at noon I was only at 3cm, they wanted to start the pitocen so I had them do the epidural then.

Answer

Your body will let you know. Depending on how much pain you can handle, I got it at 5 cm because petocin gave me horrible contractions.

Answer

They'll let you know and you'll feel it too. Around 6-8 cm. But if you can manage to 8cm go without it. Birth usually goes faster and smoother if you can handle the "transition" without epi and you can feel when you need to push.

Answer

You have to be in active labor so you can usually get it after you've gone past 4-5 cm
