Induction plan

I see a lot of people mentioning induction and I'm wondering what you mean by induction.  I'm assuming pit but I could be wrong.  Do inductions usually start with prostaglandins first or just pit, or does it depend on your ob/midwife?

    Depends if your cervix is ripe. If not, they'll start with cervadil or another cervical ripening agent. If your cervix is ripe, they'll just start with pitocin. Some places will also try more natural induction methods first, like stripping membranes, but usually that's not referred to as a scheduled induction.

    I have an "unripe" cervix (fingertip dilated, 50% effaced) so we're starting with Cervadil the night before, and Pitocin in the morning if needed.

    I have a ripe cervix at 4cm, so it'll just be pitocin for me. I'm still requesting not to have my membranes ruptured, though. I'd rather that happen spontaneously.

    My case is identical.  With my first I checked into the hospital with contractions 3 minutes apart I was at 4, do my doctor is confident that an induction at this point won't take too long.

    I'm 80% and 4cm "if" I don't go by fri she'll do what she did with my son and just break my water, no need to jump to pit unless breaking water doesn't work. (with my son I didn't have any)

    Yeah, she's pretty confident it'll go fast. With DD, my active labor was estimated at 4 hours long.
