Cytotec vs. Cervadil?

Question

Any experiences with either of these for induction?

Answer

I started with a 12 hour dose of Cervidil. I went from 1 cm to 2 cm with very mild contractions. Then they inserted a 4 hour dose of cytotec. Within about 90 minutes I was in active labor. The contractions came on hard, very fast, with very little break in between. I dilated very quickly, going from 4 cm to 10 cm, pushing and holding my son in my arms in 3 hours.

Answer

I was given cervadil first which did absolutely nothing. Afterwards we switched to cytotec & I was supposed to get 4 rounds of it but didn't need it. Only got one. Within the first 2 hours I was in active labor dilating quickly.

Answer

I was given the cervadil with my first- it was in for about 10 hours and just caused pain, not really contractions and didn’t do much. I was at a 2 when he took it out and broke my water. Had my son 2 hours later, so maybe it worked? No pitocin was needed.

Answer

I took Cervadil with my first and it was in place for 12 hours and didn’t really cause me any contractions or pain. But I did dilate to a 1-2 with it and effaced with it so I guess it helped. I’d prefer to take Cervadil over Cytotec. I don’t think Cytotec is FDA approved or something like that. I may be wrong.
