I got mine at 8cm dialated.
That was my "last shot", so i took it.
When you think you need it..get it. Just don't do it to early. I'd personally  wait  until at least 4/5 cm.

My friend got hers before her water broke because she got induced but I think if you can handle the pain to just go with it until its too much but make sure you don't wait too long or else they won't he able to!
