My water broke, but I was “maybe a fingertip” dialated, so that’s what they used to get thing started. It made me have immediate back to back contractions, and they had to remove it pretty quickly. I guess it worked though, I didn’t need pitocin that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cervidril-experiences#post-2805904 Fri, 23 Feb 2018 15:12:03 +0000 Ajsmommy 2805904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: I wasn’t at all w my first and I was 1 cm w my second but I suspect that was just what I was normally </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cervidril-experiences#post-2805866 Fri, 23 Feb 2018 14:05:43 +0000 Mrsbells 2805866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: i wasnt dilated at all.

I was at nothing at all. Took 2 rounds, started at 1am and probably another at 8-9am. Was dilated enough to get epidural/pitocin after noon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cervidril-experiences#post-2805749 Fri, 23 Feb 2018 08:29:56 +0000 nanilani 2805749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was induced with my first at 37w+1. I was given Cervidil at 2pm, Pitocin sometime the next morning, and baby was born at 12:13pm. I don't recall how dilated or effaced I was, but I'm assuming not much if anything since I was just barely in early term territory. It took a few hours for contractions to pick up steam after getting the Cervidil, and I ended up getting some Nubain to help me sleep that night (well as much as I could sleep when nurses were always coming in to adjust the monitors) b/c I didn't want to get an epidural too soon. There can be some concern with taking Nubain too close to delivery b/c it can affect the baby, but I'd been told to expect ~24 hours from the start of the induction so I was comfortable with the amount of time it'd have to get out of my system. My water broke on its own right before I got the epidural (a few hours after starting Pitocin). I don't remember how long I had to push, but I believe it was relatively quick for a first baby.</p> <p>Good luck tonight!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cervidril-experiences#post-2805734 Fri, 23 Feb 2018 00:14:58 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2805734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi ladies! I’m going in tomorrow night to have a dose of Cervidril. I’ll be staying overnight and getting Pitocin in the morning on Saturday. I was induced with my first, but was already 3-4 cm dilated and 50% effaced. So, I didn’t need Cervidril. This time, I’m only 2cm and not effaced. I’ll be 39w 3d tomorrow. </p> <p>Anyway, please tell me about your experience with Cervidril. Thank you! </p>
