Have you had a Cytotec induction? What was that like?

posted 17th Jun '12
I am scheduled for a Cytotec induction tomorrow night (yes, it's necessary, just read a couple of my other Qs if you need details), and I'm curious to know what it's like or what your experiences were.

Don't do it, it's not meant for induction... FDA warns against it, doctors are just idiots and use it because it's cheap. It's illegal in Canada to use it for induction.

They tried twice with me and it didn't do anything to help my labor. I got mucusy blood coming out of my vagina and mucus coming out my ass. I ended up having a c-section. My body spit out every dose they administered.
It's not FDA approved for induction. It's an ulcer medication, I believe. It's cheap, so hospitals use it.
I would advise against it.

It's not really induction - she is using a small dose to help soften and dialate my cervix in preparation for a pitocin induction the next morning.

Still. It can cause uterine rupture.
Ask for cervadil if she INSISTS on doing anything besides just waiting.

That's what they used it on me for. I was very uneducated about it before I went in. It didn't change my cervix at all.

I've been taking evening primrose oil all weekend, hoping to do some work ahead of time.

Yeah, that's still induction. It can cause your uterus to rupture... do some research.
