I'm not sure what mine was called, but it was a tablet. My labor was pretty easy, but we also used pitocin. True labor was only about 3 hours and I pushed for maybe ten minutes. Talk with your mw and let her know your concerns. Good luck with your induction, and I hope you have a quick easy labor.
I have heard that many hospitals will no longer allow cytotec to be used to induce labor. I am surprised that it is still being used places. I would talk to your MW tomorrow and tell them that you are not comfortable with that method of induction and you are requesting a safer more throughly researched medication. I would imagine that most people would not allow their OB or MW to use that medication. I know I would refuse treatment with that medication. No reason to use it when their are safer ways of doing the same thing.
Good luck and bravo on doing your research!
