It could be hours or even days. It all depends on your body and  what method works

Pitocen is a synthetic version of the hormone oxitocen which causes contractions. If the pill starts with a "c" it's probably Cytotec which is a very dangerous method of induction (albeit effective). Do some research. If you need more induction info you can check on my profile. I have some basic info under journals.

I got induced yesterday, I got the pill then 4 hours later started pitocin, about 30 mins later they broke my water. I was still only 1 cm at this point. Then 5 hours later I was holding my baby girl :) so in total it was about 10 hours.

First you will be given a pill like thing that starts with a 'c' but i cannot remember the name. It is placed in your vagina to help thin your cervix amd can cause contractions. After 12 hours they will remove it and start the pitocen. After that it all depends on your body
