induction anyone?

How long does it take to start labor and did you end up having a c-section or not ????

Went in on a Saturday at 10 pm was having contractions before the induction. No progression the first night, only 1cm dialated the next morning labored all day Sunday only 2cm . Monday morning they broke my water finally, I got the epidural after that because I was exhausted. Slept 4hrs started pushing at 445pm and had her at 530 had an episiodomy which was better than a c section. I wish I would have waited another week and went to 42 weeks . She wasnt ready to come.

I was induced two days ago (1100), and didn't deliver until 1751 last night. I started contracting as soon as they gave me the citotex but I was stuck at 4 cm for about 20 hours... I didn't want one originally but ended up getting an epidural because I was just too exhausted and the back labor was leaving me in tears and my labor wasn't going anywhere. I delivered vaginally and only had a category 1 tear. Took me a long time to get there but once I was at 10 cm it took less than an hour for me to push her out.

Labor with my first started after about 2 hours after start of induction. But after 14 hours only dilated from a 3 at check in to a 6 and his heart slowed so we did a c section. But he was born healthy and happy

Both my previous babies I was induced. Both times it took about an hour for labor to start, about five hours until it got painful (hello epidural) , and I had my babies at around hour 18. No c sections.
