Due to how little I was progressed I started with misoprostol instead of pitocin the night before at about 9pm. The first pill put me in labor. Epidural at 5am and baby at 250pm. All in all I was please with how this panned out. I didn't wind up getting pitcoin until like 10 or 11am the next morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-induction-questions#post-1837787 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 20:03:29 +0000 yellowbird 1837787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck tomorrow! ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-induction-questions#post-1837785 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 20:02:12 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1837785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck!

I had zero signs of labor...no contractions, no effacing, etc. Cervidil on Tues night, another dose the next morning, got contractions in the afternoon, started pushing for 3ish hours at midnight and I ended up with a C-section in the end.</p> <p>Good luck! Hope you get to meet her tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-induction-questions#post-1836998 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 12:09:23 +0000 regberadaisy 1836998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone for sharing! </p> <p>Hopefully we can meet her tomorrow :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-induction-questions#post-1836770 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 10:45:29 +0000 kes18 1836770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had cervidil at 9pm or so. Then slept there overnight. That didn't do much for me.</p> <p>Pitocin and breaking my water (I was about 75% effaced and maybe a fingertip dilated at this point) happened the next morning around 7:30am and she was delivered at 8:42pm. So about 13 hours from start to finish if you don't include the overnight (which was almost pointless but whatever).</p> <p>She was my first baby, at 41 weeks. I just showed up at the time my OB's office told me to, but I think I called to confirm with them that day anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-induction-questions#post-1836713 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 10:21:54 +0000 lemondrop 1836713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was set for an induction, but they kept pushing it back until I was admitted for high blood pressure. My Bishop score was already indicating early labor. I went into labor while waiting for them to get me a room, I'm pretty sure that getting checked got things rolling. He was born within about 4 hours of being admitted and most of it was just waiting and relaxing. They broke my water and he was out 15 minutes later. </p> <p>My first happened on its own and took just under 8 hours with my water breaking to start it all. </p> <p>I'm so excited for you! Can't wait for your new baby! I wish you everything as smooth and quick as my own "induction"! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-induction-questions#post-1836686 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 10:09:24 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1836686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was admitted for low amniotic fluid at 38w 5d. They started cervadil at 5 am on Thursday and I had to have three rounds. They started Pitocin at 3am on Saturday and I was ready to push at 10:30am. LO was born at 11 am.</p> <p>We took our iPad to watch movies on and my Kindle for when I was tired of that. Because I had been admitted for low amniotic fluid, I had to wear the fetal monitor the whole time and it would only pickup the heartbeat if I was lying flat, so I couldn't really do anything like cards where I would have needed to sit up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-induction-questions#post-1836429 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 08:38:25 +0000 Alivoo01 1836429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was induced at 37 weeks due to DS being an IUGR baby who quit growing at 32 weeks.</p> <p>Admitted at 7am, started Pitocin after all the paperwork and inquiries, DS showed distress so we stopped. Waited for OB to break my water at 11:30am and re-started pitocin. Delivered DS at 6:19pm. I was 2cm dilated and 50% effaced when I was admitted.</p> <p>I absolutely loved my induction experience!!</p> <p>DH brought his blanket and pillows so he could be comfy, and we brought our laptop and phone chargers as well. We mainly watched TV and napped in between. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-induction-questions#post-1836422 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 08:35:28 +0000 mrs. wagon 1836422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also had a great induction!! After going into labor naturally with my first, we were induced a week early with my second due to GD (my doctor's policy, I was toooootally ok with it). I was admitted around 8am, had a bit of a wait, got into my labor room around 9:30-10am, got started with pitocin and ate a meal, and my daughter was born at 7:45pm! </p> <p>I was 3cm dilated for weeks though!</p> <p>ETA: I watched a couple of movies on netflix as I waited, until the pain got to be too much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-induction-questions#post-1836312 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 07:52:25 +0000 maybebaby 1836312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a great induction experience! Admitted at 11, ate a meal, pitocin started at 1 pm. Baby was born at 11:30 PM. you'l be great! We did enjoy bringing the laptop and watching a few episodes :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-induction-questions#post-1836200 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 03:29:04 +0000 nana87 1836200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>36 hours from being admitted to lo being born, but I was just over 37 weeks so I wasn't dilated at all and she hadn't dropped. I also was on pit 12 hours before an epidural-- i went from a 4-10 in 5 hrs after getting an epi! I wonder if it would have been faster if I got it sooner so that I'd relax. But, contractions were really only bad for a couple hours before the epi</p> <p>Good luck!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-induction-questions#post-1836190 Tue, 26 Aug 2014 01:48:19 +0000 lamariniere 1836190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, but good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-induction-questions#post-1836116 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 22:39:22 +0000 T-Mom 1836116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was induced with DD.. it didn't take that long at all.. I think we went in to have an office visit around 1pm, and OB broke my water.. they admitted me around 4, I got pitocin, epi, and DD was born around 9-10pm... this was 1 day before my due date.<br /> Can't believe it's almost time for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-few-induction-questions#post-1836102 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 22:25:32 +0000 StbHisMrs 1836102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my second I was induced at 40+1, started pitocin at noon, he broke my water around 4 and she was born at 7:20.</p> <p>Went into labor on my own with my third. </p>
