being induced question..?

[panda_boo30]

How does the doctor induce you? And how long does it take to put you in actual labor?

[panda_boo30]

He wanted me to come in Monday but they're closed.. So if they choose to induce me they will do it Tuesday or Wednesday?

I'm in the same boat. I'm due Wednesday. At my appointment Thursday I wasn't dilated any so I go in Wednesday if I haven't had him by then and we'll.set up my induction for either Wednesday night or Thursday morning.

Well I'm due Tuesday and when i went to my appointment Thursday i wasn't dilated at all so i have to go back on my due date to see if I'm going to be induced. I just want to know what to expect. I hope i don't have to be induced since i hear it hurts more?

I had the pitocin and 2days later had my son... I was already a week late & even with the med was not dilating :/

I was started on pitocin at 9:00pm and didn't deliver until 8:10 pm the next day so it's very different for everybody

With me they put a perssari in my cervix at midnight.  By 3am I was in agony and 4cm dilated. The contractions can be more intense and as your body dosnt build up to them naturally it can be harder to deal with...so I had an epidural. My daughter was born at 3pm that day. I have to be induced again as I am almost 2 weeks late! I really wanted a water birth. Have you a date for your induction?  Your be fine and every woman is different. ..

Took me a few hrs ..but its different for everyone

They inject you with Pitocin a version of the hormone your body makes to triggers labor. The time varies greatly for every woman.
