How dilated were you before your induction?

I am being induced on Sunday and was only a fingertip dilated today.  I know that the less dilated/effaced you are the tougher the induction experience.  Im just hoping there are plenty of success stories out there about inductions with lack of dilation.

Re: How dilated were you before your induction?

  • I'm still pregnant with my twins but with DD I wasn't dilated at all when they induced me due to really high blood pressure and my labor lasted 39 and 1/2 hours. I don't have any other births to compare DD's to but it was a very long process. Luckily I only pushed an hour 20 minutes. Either way I hope you have a much quicker experience. Best of luck for a quick induction.
  • I was 3 or 4 cm dilated at 36w2d.  I can't remember for sure.  I went in for my induction at 8pm got the pitocin at 10pm.  I got my epidural around 4am when I was 9cm.  I think they broke my water shortly after and I started pushing around 5am.  I had Kaden at 6:09am and Nolan at 7:14 am.  So all told about 9 hours total after getting the pitocin.  Good luck and I hope your birth experience is a good one!

  • With Emerson I had no progress at all going into my induction.  It was tough and ended in a section.

  • I was induces and my induction failed b/c of station not dilation. Ask your doctor what your bishop score is. That is a better assessment of your likely success.

  • Wait - what happened?  I thought they were going to let you wait until the 8th?  Are you ok?

    They are still concerned about the low weights so my MFM and OB decided to put me in tomorrow.  I'm getting the foley bulb tomorrow around 4 and starting pit Monday morning.

  • I was dilated to "a 2 or a 3" (3 checks and they could never decide ;)) when I went in for my induction. I had to go in the night before to start the GBS antibiotics, so the OB gave me Cervidil at the same time. By the morning I was dilated to a 4. They started the Pitocin around 9 a.m., broke Baby A's water at 1 p.m. and the babies were out just before 9 p.m.

    Good luck! :)

  • I was a finger tip dilated on my induction date. Didn't get past 2 cm (even w/ pit drip and they broke A's water) when MFM called for a c/s since B blocked A from further descending in my canal. I labored 8 hrs but had to then convert to a c/s.
