  *hugs* Please don't feel like any of this is your fault, everyone's body reacts differently tp being induced, likely your body isn't quite ready yet and may bw why there isn't mich response.
  
  There's not much you can do but believe in yourself and look forward to holding your new baby! I am wishing you the best for your birth and hope you get an experience you are happy with.
  
  Good luck!

  Sounds like how I was! None of the meds really helped me. I did the cervidal then we did the first round of poticin. Which didn't work either, then we tried the balloon cath. Which worked and I was dilated 3 cm. then they used the poticin again. It was a long and frustrated process but I never lost hope and I have a beautiful son. Everything will work out!

  I was put on pitocin, and then cytotec and was at 1cm for over a day. I ended up being in labor for 44 hours. I would suggest getting the epidural, it helps speed up the process (at least it did for me). Good luck!

  Thank you for the comments. After talking to my doctor I felt much better. The nurse gave me the impression that I was headed towards a C-section, but my doctor said it was not medically indicated as baby and I are doing well. They stopped the pitocin, let me shower and eat. They placed a bulb foley and restarted pitocin at 11 and I am now 4cm dilated. I will likely get an epidural in the next few hours.

  I got induced with my first because my water broke and I wasn't contracting. They pumped me full of pitocin all day. It took from like 9am-midnight to get to 8cm. It sucked but your body will catch up!
