I was not that far along when induced with my first child, but it was not a bad experience at all. We went in at about 6 am. By the time the actually began giving me meds to start labor it was 8 am. They broke my water at like 10ish. I started pushing at 4:25 pm and had her at 4:35 pm. It was pretty enjoyable actually since I had an epidural. We all just hung out between checks, watched TV, chatted, etc. It is nice that there is a definate end in sight when you're induced. I don't know how it is without pain meds, but I highly recommend the epidural...they rock! Good luck. I hope it all goes well. Don't be scared, it isn't that bad.

hi Lucy, i was induced with my son 13yrs ago with a pessary. They put it in at 10pm then i went into labour at midnight and my son was born at 1pm. When i had my daughter i went naturally and was in labour 19 and a half hours so for me the induced was quicker. Im hoping for my induction date 2mrw as im 40+1 overdue.

I am 10 days over due today and being induced tommorrow. i have had no pains at all and im getting excited to be induced i was with my first one then had an epideral so i didnt feel much pain. they started inducing me at 10:00 am and she was out by 7:00 pm the epideral helped me to dilate cause i was tensing up and the epideral relaxed me. ive heard of alot of people going 10 to 12 days over and still going in naturally.

I was induce with my first when i was a week late. It was hard, but fast. Three hours from the time they started the pitocin. With my second i started labor on my own (two days early) but they put me on the pitocin when my labor slowed at 4 cms. that also took only three hours. With my little one i was scheduled to be induced on a saturday but i went in on my own and he was born friday morning. also labor can start anytime. there is no set time that you pa__s and then there is no chance of labor starting.
