Being induced, how long will it take?

Question

I’m hooked up to pitocin to induce labor. For those who were induced, how long until you were in active labor and gave birth? How did you pee after getting the epidural?
 Update: 
I started on 30 and now I’m up to 120 of pitocin after it started 1.5 hours ago. Contractions are getting stronger.

Answer

12 hours in total 👍, no epidural
My cervix was high and hard.
Didnt have an epidural but I assume they will insert a catheter and remove once your able to walk.

Answer

Depends on if your cervix is ripe already or not. If not that alone could take 24 hrs or more. Overall it can take more than 2 days. So bring something to do!

Answer

8 hours and I had my baby. Had epidural and it went quite well.

Answer

22 hours and it ended in an emergency c section.

Answer

After 12 hours, I dilated a whole ALMOST half a cm. I ended up having a c section.

Answer

About 17 hours, i was at a 2 when they started it at 5:30 am, they broke my waters at 1 and I had my baby at 11:17 that night. Once you get the epidural they'll put a catheter in so you can pee that way and theyll take it out a few hours after you have baby

Answer

26 hours never progressed. Emergency c section

Answer

Took 4 hours.
I was 3cm dilated before it started and 95% effaced (is that how you spell it?)

Answer

You get a catheter put in after the epidural so you don’t have to get up to pee.

Answer

I started pitocin at 4am and gave birth 3am the following day. It can take a while.
