My best friend was induced yesterday evening and I haven't heard any updates, so I am curious...
How long did it take to deliver once your induction was started?
-
Mine took almost exactly 48 hours. But I think I'm not the norm. Ended in a c section.
-
Cervadil inserted at 10pm, Pitocin started at like 4am. DD was born at 7:31pm. Vaginal birth, my water broke on it's own 24 hours before they induced me.
-
Cervidil inserted at 6pm on Tuesday and born by csection on Thursday around 5am.
-
I started Cervadil at 8pm on Sunday night, had my LO at 6am on Tuesday morning.
-
15 hours, but I was 5 cm dilated when I started.
-
I had cervadil around 3am on Tuesday (they made me come in at midnight!!) and then pitocin around 11am. My water broke on its own an hour or two after that and DD arrived at 4:49am Wednesday.
-
Pitocin around 10 am, water broken around noon, delivered around 7:45 pm.
-
Thanks ladies! Basically, it sounds like the baby could be here soon - or not.
-
The first pessary went in at 9am Sunday morning and E was born at 2am Thursday morning..... so four days!
-
19 hours - 3pm to 10am the next morning
-
@Cherrybee: Oh my! I guess I should have included more poll options...
-
6pm induction on a Fri night that got started a few hours later, E was born Sat around noon. 16 hours start to finish. I was told it was pretty damn fast for a first baby
-
I started at 10am Monday 1cm dilated and lo was born via c section at 430am Tuesday. 18.5 hrs. Could've been faster or slower. They told me to expect 24+ hrs but i actually dilated super fast once my water broke and I think if she'd not gotten stuck she would've arrived by 1 or 2 am!
-
58 hours.....
-
57 hours.
-
Almost exactly 12 hours (induced with oxytocin)
-
Cervidil at around 11am (fully closed), Pitocin started at 4ish, fully dilated by 8:30, pushing at 9, baby at 10pm! Faster than most, I think.
-
Induced at 6 am, water broke at 11 am, ended in C-section at 11:14 pm due after 3 hours of pushing.
-
Almost 2 days, and then my daughter was in the nicu. So it was a little while before we gave out the news.
-
36 hours from being admitted to baby, but abot 34 from cervidil Being inserted
Eta I wasn't dilated at all and LO hadn't dropped since I was 37 weeks
-
About 29 hours.
-
2.5 hrs from when I was admitted. But it was also my second baby.
-
@autumnlove: Just like you Tuesday to Thursday, except I threw in the towel for a c-section at 12 AM. So weak, lol!
-
From starting Pitocin, about 5 hours. From when they broke my water...4. So not long at all!
-
Started Cervadil around 11 on Thursday, LO was born around 11 on Saturday.
-
14 hours. I only dilated to a 4 and ended up with a c section.
-
@Espion: Not weak! I threw it in at 14 hours. Haha! It wasn't happening so I was like, Nope. Lol
-
@Danizaur: I could see it in my OB's eyes at midnight after a loooooong couple of days: "Woman, let me cut you!"
And he had the graciousness to say, "Are you sure?" Must be a southern thing, ha!
-
Just under 4 hours.
-
@Espion: hehe I picture your OB with a giant steak knife saying that. Because I want too many crime shows, apparently
-
Got cervadil at 9pm on a Thursday and ended with a csection by 5 on Friday. Not too bad, all things considered.
-
45 hours. Ended in c section.
-
Went in at 5pm, Cervidil in just before 7pm, pit started the next morning and water broke by MD. Pit went until laaate that night when they found baby wasn't responding well so they shut it off. Nothing else happened so I had a c-section at 10am on day 3 (Halloween!). About 39 hours and only stopped then due to intervention.
-
A little over 36 hours. Ended in emergency c-section. I should note that I was induced because the baby's heart rate had low variability, so it was a cold start without any contractions. I had the maximum dosage of pitocin, followed by cervadil overnight, then pitocin the next day. Dilated to 4 cm maximum. They broke my water a few hours before the c/s...I can't remember when exactly, but it did nothing for me.
-
28 hours and ended up with twin a born vaginally with vaccuum and twin b c-section. I actually spent most of the time with not much happening. I started dilating after the epi, was complete in 4 hrs, then spent 4.5 hrs pushing.
-
At hour 60 they had to use forceps to pull little one out.
I am hoping for a planned c section with baby 2.
-
DD1: 10 hrs
DD2: 5 hrsWith both I came into the hospital at 8am, has my water broken, pitocin, epi and was fully dilated within 4-5 hours. DD1 was not low enough yet though so we had to labor down for 4 hrs then, 2 hrs pushing. DD2 on the other hand was in perfect position and was out in 3 pushes.
-
@blackbird: lol! I think my first nurse would have been the one with the steak knife. That lady was no joke!
-
25 hours. Pitocin started at 2pm. Reached 10 cm the following morning at 10am. LO was born at 3pm.
