cervidil experiences??

in 3rd Trimester

Hi, I was due the 15th and am being induced tomorrow night. They're giving me Cervidil tomorrow night, then Pitocin in Saturday morning.

Someone told me some disturbing things about Cervidil. Anyone have any experiences they can share???

    I only have great experiences with cervadil.  Starting with cervadil will give your ut the best chances to efface and dialate before starting pitocin.  Best of luck!

    I had Cervidil with DD. It wasn't bad at all. The Dr put it in and it quickly kicked me into labor. Apparently I was already having contractions 5-7 minutes apart when they put it in, but once it was in I actually started feeling them.

    I had to lay down for a couple of hours after it was in, but it wasn't a big deal.

    I had a great experience with it. They put it in, I layed there for about a half hour then they sent me walking. Apparently like pp I too was already having some contractions. I walked around for about 4 hours. I was induced but ended up never needing the pitocin. Good luck!

    I had it and ended with a vag delivery.  Good luck!

    I had the same process as you will be having.  Mine ended up in a c-section, but that was because I never dilated and my pelvis was too narrow to handle the vaginal birth, nothing to do with the Cervidil or Pitocin.  There was nothing disturbing about my experience with either.  

    Good luck!!!!

    I want to say this is the stuff my cousin said made her feel drunk and have crazy dreams but I could be wrong.

    The only bad experiences I have heard are from people who had a miscarriage early on and were not having a d & c.
