Re: For those of you who were induced ...
I was induced one day after my EDD. I was admitted at 10am, started the pitocin at 2pm, epi at 6pm and pushed M out at 10:34pm. It was a great experience, even though they had to give me 2 epis cause the guy messed up the first one. But it was a very easy delivery!
I wish you the best of luck! Hope to see you over here soon!
39 hours.. 20 without epi (big mistake on pitocin) 19 hours on epi (HEAVEN)
45 minutes to push.. GL!
Induced, with Cytotec, Tuesday morning at 8:00a. Sent home at 4:30p b/c of slow progress and told to come back if anythng changed. Water broke at 7:30p, DD born Wednesday afternoon at 4:20p.
Not everyone is in labor so long though. I have had two friends in the last two months induced with pitocin at 8a and delivered by 3p.
Good luck!
I've been induced twice both for medical reasons
The first time they started cervadil around 11:30 pm, then pitoci around 8-8:30 the next morning. I was fully dilated and started pushing around 8:30 pm and pushed for two hours before my dr said it wasn't going fast enough and made me have a c section.
The second one went much faster. I was already 4 cm when I got to the hospital at 7 am. They broke y water and started pitocin at 8:30-9 and I started pushing at 4. DD finally arrived at 7, but that's an unusually long time to push and they had to assist with forceps.
My dotor said that I had particularly difficult deliveries though, so don't worry too much!
Cervidil at 11pm, water broke next day at 7am on its own, delivered at 1pm
Pushed for an hour and a half. VERY good induction experience!
6 hours, pushed for 10 minutes.
Good luck!
6 hours
just RELAX
First baby 24 hours and pushed for 20 minutes. Second baby 8 hours and pushed for 8 minutes.
Well it varies for everyone. First baby I was induced on a Tuesday morning, had her Friday morning after almost 4 hours of pushing.
Second baby I was induced Tuesday morning, pushed/labored down for 5 hours Friday morning and ended up with a csection.
5/25 - Induced using folley catheter - 12 noon
5/26 - Started Pitocin - 7 am
Delivery wasn't until 9:20 that night via c-section
So I guess a total of 33 hours start to finish
26 hours.
Went in at 5, started induction at 7, broke my water at 1, and started pushing at about 5:30am the next day...pushed for 3 hours and finally pushed him out at 8:54am with the help of forceps because he was face up instead of the usual face down.
pitocin drip and water broken around 7 a.m. epidural around 9:15 a.m. began pushing at 11:45 a.m. and he was here at 12:33 p.m.
it was an awesome experience and went really well.
best of luck tomorrow!
Started pitocin @ 5:30am, broke my water @ 7:30am, got epi @ 10:30, started pushing @ 1:30pm and he was born @ 2:24PM!
Just 6 minutes shy of 9 hours of labor, it wasn't too bad I was only in serious pain right before the epi. You'll be fine! Good Luck!
I was induced on a Monday night. DD was born on Thursday morning.
Good luck!
Pitocin at 5:30a
Epidural at 9:45a
DD born at 1:04p
Pushed through 6 or 7 contractions.
Very pleasant experience! Good luck with yours!
16 hours -- I pushed for 3.
I had to be induced at 34w2d due to severe pre-e. They started magnesium and cervadil (to soften my cervix) the evening before the induction. Pitocin was started at 6am, the doctor broke my water at 9am, and Norah arrived at 5:34pm. Around 5:25, my doctor said we needed to do a c-section, but Norah had other ideas and made a quick entrance!
Good luck tomorrow!
admitted for low fluid, began induction around 10 pm started pushing the next day at 4:20 pm and baby born and 4:41pm! It was actuallya great experience.
Admitted Wednesday night for cervadil. By 8 am Thursday was put on Pitocin. I was ready to push at 12:45 pm Thursday and pushed for 20 minutes.
My body was also not ready to go into labor so I went from no progress to ready to go in that amount of time. My only suggestion is to trust your doctors and nurses and everything will be okay. Oh - and eat before you go in. They let me eat breakfast on Thursday, but unfortunately the Pitocin made me throw it up later in the morning.
Good luck!
Induced at 12:30PM and was 1cm dilated and 50% effaced. By 4PM I was 5cm dilated and still 50% effaced. My contractions were 50 seconds long and 2 minutes apart. By 7PM I was down to 4cm dilated and around 25% effaced. Contractions were 1 minute long and 1 minute apart. I continue to labour until 10:45PM when I was sent for an emergency c-section because they were having a hard time finding Ben's heartbeat and mine was all over the place. Also because he was trying to come over through the side of his head.
So I guess I laboured for just over 10 hours before being sent for c-section.
