Questions about being induced...
We just found out I will be induced tomorrow (at 37 weeks). I am going into the hospital at 6pm tomorrow and they are going to start cervidil. I am less than 1cm dialated. I was wondering if you were induced starting with cervidil...
1.) How long was it until your labor really started?
2.) When were your babies born?
Thanks for your help!!

Re: Questions about being induced...
My induction was started with Cervadil on a Friday when I was 38 weeks. DS had low amniotic fluid (after 8 weeks of bedrest for low fluid, it was sort of an expected outcome). I was 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced.
My labor began and I had frequent, strong contractions not long after the cervadil. After that I had pitocin, more cervadil, more pitocin, two other drugs to promote progress, etc. I never dilated past 2 cm and had a cesarean the following Tuesday.
I hope your labor progresses well and you have a safe delivery. Good luck!
i was induced with my singleton pg at 36w b/c of Pre-E and kidney stones. I was 80% effaced and a fingertip dilated at that point. I got the pitocin at 7am, the epidural at 7:30am, and slept all day... wasn't fully dilated until midnight- took 1 hour 40 min to push him out. He was crooked and had a huge head- if it went much longer they would have done a c/s b/c he was crooked it was extra hard.
best of luck!!!
