total days in hospital with induction?

So I am scheduled for induction on Wednesday and the doctor said they will first insert a tablet then once I am at 5cm they will start the pitocin which could be days before I even go into active labor. Has this happened to anyone else?

That's crazy that the Dr isn't go I g to start patocin until 5cm the pill is to soften your cervix so you can get the poticin is what I thought

When I was induced with my son I went in at 8 pm and they inserted the tablet. At 4 in the morning they started the potocin I had him at 4:43 pm! I had a long labor!
