re: Mamas who were Induced

Quoting Lizzie's Mama♥:" labor and delivery being my first child i was 13 hours 40 minutes"

Quoting Chelsea Dawns Mama:" As long as she's born by 11:59 lol"

lol yea and healthy

Quoting Lizzie's Mama♥:" lol yea and healthy"

Well thats a given!  

<blockquote><b>Quoting Chelsea Dawns Mama:</b>" If they give you cervadil/cytotec, does that typically make your labor last longer?"</blockquote>



I don't think so. I just was not dilated or effaced at all, so they had to get that started with cervadil first.

Quoting Chelsea Dawns Mama:" Well thats a given!  "

I'm being induced t 39 weeks exactly. And she was born with TEETH????

5hours45mins from start of drop till he was in my arms and I had him vaginally and i waited till 9cm till epidural.

Quoting P.Lynn:" 5hours45mins from start of drop till he was in my arms and I had him vaginally and i waited till 9cm till epidural."

They gave you an epidural at 9 cm?

Quoting Lizplustwo:" They gave you an epidural at 9 cm?"

yep. they said afterward i was lucky i got it because my placenta wouldnt come out and they were digging up there and something else. no tearing at all but after they said if i lost anymore blood they would have done a blood transfusion.

On my first they were able to break my waters an hour and 45 mins later I had her and on my third they gave me pitocin an exactly 1 hr later I had him

Quoting Chelsea Dawns Mama:" I've got a few questions for ya: -How long did labor last, from the time you got the drugs till LO came? ... [snip!] ... a c-section, was your SO/DH allowed in with you? Any other advice/info you'd like to share would be greatly appreciated! TIA!"

they gave me and pill and started everything around 6 and it was about 19 hours from there, but i really go from when my water broke which was exactly 1130 pm and she was born almost exactly 15 hours later. i had her vaginally. i was induced at 38 weeks for pre-eclampsia

i was induced 2wks ago on monday, i had my pessary at 6.30pm at night contractions started at 9pm just light pains, broke waters at 6.30am my contractions became regular at 8am i had my girl at 4.05pm. everything was smooth and had no problems at all

They can't give an epidural that late in labour in this country they will not give it after 7cm

I refused cytotec even though they pushed me to use it. I had pitocin for 27 hours. I got a foley bulb 10 hours in. I loved it! Because it was not a drug. I would beg for that if you don't want to do cytotec. I pushed for three hours. DD was born vaginally. I would just try to breath thru everything as long as possible. I caved and got an epi at 20 hours. But I could still moved legs by myself.

9:30ish PM pitocin, epi around 2am and emergency csection at 12:46PM.

Will never have drugs again. I wish I would have just went home. I was already in labor but nothing was happening with contractions peaking really high on the chart. Tight and closed after 2 hours of walking w/those contractions after 8 hours at home.

I can't be induced again because I VBAC now and inducing is a no no.
