For me, my water had already broken so they put me on IV fluids and gave me oxytocin. Took a while to work and they ended up thinking that it wasn't working because I wasn't complaining about the contractions. They shot me so full of oxytocin that I was only in labor for 3 hours and they were totally unprepared when I was 10cm because they thought I'd be in labor for another 8 hours or so... it was all quite funny now that I look back on it but I really thought the pain would be a lot worse so this time I know to compain earlier!

I was induced a week early b/c I had the GBS infection.. and my dr wanted to treat me with antibiotics prior to labor.. It was awful... I was induced at 8pm and wasn't dialated until 7am the next day.. and by that time I was so tired and drugged up, I couldn't push.. and had to have a c-section.. Had I known, I would've just had the C-section to begin with!!!

Well, this is my first baby aswell, however they are talking about inducing my next fri (25) because I don't have a spleen, and when we disgussed it they said if i am atleast 3 cm they will try breaking my waters. If that doesn't kick it off in an hourish then they will feed me pitossin through an IV.

I was induced with both of my children. With my 1st I was admitted to the hospital and given Cervadil (inserted like a tampon up against the cervix, it doesn't hurt) the night before the induction. That morning I recieved a Pitocin IV and it took about 4 hours before my 1st contraction hit, after that I was holding a baby within 3 hours. Went from 2cm to 10cm in 30 min and pushed twice and was in hard labor for 2 hours. My second went the same, except I didn't need the Cervadil. Both were short labors (3 hrs) and a few minutes of pushing.. so over all it wasn't bad. i didn't like having to wear the monitors the WHOLE time though.

Well i was induced and i got there at 6 am started my pitocin ( i was laready at 4 cm and only 39 weeks and 2 days) then then abot 9 am they brokemy water..a nd i started having contractions, it was going pretty fast and then at 1:00 i was at 10 cm! so i started pushing, and well i had her at 1:21 pm!! sp theres a brief story on what can happen! my labor went pretty quick, and the doctor was very proud cause usually when you get induced it can last up to 24 hours! and it usually does! but not for me!! so good luck!!
