3.5 cm dilated, 60% effaced and being induced

iverske9

So ladies, I am hoping LO comes on her own but have a set induction for after the due date just in case she takes her sweet ole time LOL. I was wondering what anyone's expereince was if they were already effaced and dialted? My first came on his own and of course this one still can but just wanted to see what my ladies experienced if you were already dialted and at least 50% effaced.

I was 2 cm and 80% effaced when I was 40 weeks 1 day. I was induced at 41 weeks 1 day. My other two came early and water broke on its own with them.

When I arrived to be induced, I was 3 cm and 85% effaced. They broke my water and slowly upped the pitocin. I was 5 cm and asking for the epidural within 3 1/2 hrs. I delivered him 5 1/2 hrs after they started the induction. My induced labor was very similar to my other deliveries because I had back labor and I progressed quickly.

Good luck. Hope you go in to labor on your own.

I was 2cm and 60% effaced. We started with pitocin, after about 5 hours of really easy contractions I was at 5cm. They broke my water at 3:30pm and kept the pitocin at a pretty low level since I was in a nice labor pattern. Baby girl was born at 6:00. Honestly, it was the easiest of my three labors.

I was 5cm and 80% when I went in. We got the contractions regulated then broke my water at 6cm (10 hrs later). I delivered him 45 min later, after jumping to 10cm in a few contractions.

I was 3 cm when induced ( not sure how much effaced) all I can say is just get the epidural ASAP if it's in your plan don't wait around for things to happen. I labored for 18 hours... Pitocin was up to 16 out of 20 for hours and I was checked and only 3.5. Got the epidural and went from 3.5-8.5 in 2 hours. My body just relaxed so much I guess. Once I was 9 my epidural stopped working in the front- ouch! I was in so much pain they turned down pitocin... That was great until I started pushing and contractions were only every 4 min. I begged for pitocin at that point bc I was really wanting to push. Overall I didn't think pitocin was all that bad however I don't know anything else
