I think the only way you would have a c section is if the baby didn't tolerate the Pitocin and the heart rate dropped and everything like that, but usually if you don't dilate within a certain time they will take u off of the Pitocin and try other things and if that doesn't work they will do a c section..

oh ok, im not sure how they do that but I know with being induced you will go in fill out paper work they will get you into a room draw blood give you an iv of fluids and Pitocin which is the meds they use to induce you, sometimes they will break your water if it doesn't break on it own, and then after that you should be having contractions like crazy then hopefully pushing

You should have it scheduled. Does your Dr have an after hours number? Maybe the office forgot to schedule.

They just give you medicine through an IV to start labor. Is that what you're asking?
