My experience wasn't great either. With my first had to be induced with just pitocin. Made his heart rate keep dropping so they took me off of it for a few hours. I was in labor for 24 hrs and pushed for two.

I was and I was in labor for more than 48 hours the pitocin did nothing for me except give me contractions? I dialated to 3 and then went back down to one over the 48 hour period. My water broke but I got an infection and ran a fever. My pelvis was also way too small for the baby so I was rushed into a c-section. My experience with pitocin was horrible but it was just my body. I'm sure you'll have an easiee time with it.

I am in the hospital right now with pitocin. I started at 3cm when I came in at 4 this morning. Its now 2 in the afternoon and I'm at 5cm with contractions every 2-3 minutes. Let me tell ya.... get an epidural! It will be your best friend! :)

I have with all three of my kids and I will be with this one. I can't really compare it to anything else because that's all I've ever had, but everything worked out fine
