Mamas who were Induced

I've got a few questions for ya:
-How long did labor last, from the time you got the drugs till LO came?
-Did you give birth vaginally, or end up with a c-section?
-If you did have to have 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!

21 hours, from insertion of cervadil until vaginal birth. Pitocin for about 11 hours of that.

I was induced with my daughter and they started the pitocin at about 2-3 pm and I had her at 9 am the next day she was born traditionally

28 hours, ended in c section, husband was allowed with me. I didn't have a c section because I was induced though. There were other complications.

12 hours
Vaginally
And best advice is bring something to do. Lol

1. Went in at 8 PM at 2 CM 40% effaced, they put cervidil in. Left it in until 5 AM the next morning. I was starting to contract on my own, but not regularly. They started pitocin at 7 AM, broke my water at 8 AM, got my epidural at 9 AM. I had her at 3:09 PM, that same day.

2. Vaginally, pushed for 10 mins.

I didn't have any complications or anything, my labor went really well.

Exactly 24 hours, it ended in a C-Section, and yes SO was in the room for it. I went in the hospital at 2 pm, got cervadil at 8 pm I think, pitocin at 4 am and by 12 pm they said I needed a C-Section because I had not progressed at all and I had her at 1:44 pm.

I went in at 5 am and had him at 3 45 but when I went in I was 5 cm dilated already. Ended up in a c section. And yes SO was in there.

i was induced after 48 hours of labor...i wasnt progressing. they broke my water after induction. i still didnt go past 6cm. did an ultrasound and baby wasnt in birth canal...had emergency c section. SO went in there with me.

If they give you cervadil/cytotec, does that typically make your labor last longer?

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

I've heard HORRIBLE things about cytotec. The cervidil is suppose to help your cervix thin out quicker.

This. I too have heard bad things about cytotec.

I know so have i. Its used the same as cervadil, and sadly what my hospital uses. I plan to refuse having it used on me though.

If that's ALL they offer, I wouldn't accept that at all. I've heard soooo many bad things, I'd be too nervous. I'd take cervadil or none lol
