Breaking waters

Amanda

I have an induction scheduled for this coming Monday, I will be 41+3. I’m 5CM and 80% effaced and my doctor said we will break my waters and she’ll give me 1.5-2 hrs to start contractions before they would bring in Pitocin. I’d really like to discuss waiting longer to give my body time to start contractions, is that realistic? Anyone with a story similar and what their experience was? Do I have other options before Pitocin in and effort to begin contractions? I haven’t had a single hard contraction this entire time, just period cramping and back pain, mainly at night. Nothing that stops me in my tracks and I can’t talk through.
