Planned induction help!

Has anyone had a successful vaginal birth with a planned induction? If so, how dilated/effaced were you going into it? I'm nervous about the rate of c-section, but my induction is medically necessary. Thanks!!

    I've had two inductions that resulted in vaginal births. I can't remember what I was with DS but for dd I was barely a fingertip dilated and high cervix when they gave me the first dose of gel. After my second dose of gel, I was 2cm and then walked for an hour or two to get to 4-5 when they started pitocin. I delivered 3.5 hours after the pit was started.

    I was almost 2cm and only 50% effaced. Delivered vaginally with no complications and my labor was pretty short. I got 2 doses of oral misoprostol (2pm and 6pm) my water broke at 3am and LO was born at 10:30am. I didn't have pitocin either. It's totally possible!

    I have, and had no complications. I wasn't dilated/effaced at all because it was so early in my pregnancy, but that may have been why it was such an insanely long labor.

    I can't remember how much effaced, but I was just over 1 cm when they started the pitocin. I successfully delivered vaginally. I was also induced for medical reasons. They started the pitocin at 6 am and he was born at 5:20 pm.

    I have and I wasn't dilated or effaced. I was still high and tight at 41 weeks.

    I was 2cm & 50%. We skipped the cervadil and went with just pitocin. Took 14 hours, but I apparently have a 'stubborn cervix'. It really wasn't bad, although I wound up with an epi earlier than I needed/wanted in order to let my OB break my water. This labor went way better than my non-induced did.

    Thanks for this post!! This gives me hope too. I will be induced next week and I am nervous because I am still high/tight but my cervix is thinning.

    I was 2.5 cm and 50% effaced, pit started at 8:40 PM and had her at 5:40 AM. It was awesome.

    I'm scheduled to induce Wednesday the 16th and was pleasantly surprised to find this article (and several others like it). My doc was very pro-induction which was a big shock to me, but based on some medical factors and quite frankly the convenience of scheduling, we decided it was the right choice for us.

    I wasn't effaced or dilated and baby was still high. Was given pitocin beginning at 9:15 am with the dose upped every 30 minutes and she was born, with no complications at 5:53 PM.
