I think you have to be dialated to at least 2cm. I'm not sure, though cause I've never had one. Bump to keep you up top!

I know quite a few women on here have had it done.

I think I read somewhere that you do have to be dilated to like a 4 or something. Sorry I'm not sure but I'm talking to my doctor about it tomorrow and I can let you know if no one else does :)
