I have been here for 18 hours.. cervadil did not do anythinf but give me contractions, i am at the max with pitocin and i am not dialated one bit and my contractions are 5 mins apart. Dr cant break my water and he said i have an option to start all over again or get a csection? Any experiences with this and how soon will they do the csection if i choose that

with you already having been put on medicine to induce labor they will probably do it today sometime. Don't see them risking the babys well being any longer. Good luck and keep us posted.

My friend just went through this and they tried 3 times only to end up having a csection. I would just go with the csection

I too would opt for the c section. I know you'll be dissapointed but I wouldn't want to start over...I'd rather just get it over because I doubt you will dilate any

I would go ahead and opt for the c-section, because if they start you over on the pitocin that's too much medicine for the baby to have received in the past 24 hours and it will not be long before its heart rate and blood pressure to begin to drop. That happened to me, I was in your exact situation. I wanted to go what the vaginal birth and because of my decision as soon as they started me on medicine everything went downhill. I was rushed in for an emergency c-section and because I had already received an epidural hours beforehand they could not give me another one so I felt pretty much most of it. Worst experience of my life. That was with my first pregnancy. with my second pregnancy I had a planned c section and it went wonderful. I did not feel a thing and I recovered super quickly. If you opt for the c-section now they still have plenty of time to prep you so yours also will be easy. It's not as scary as it sounds I promise

If you choose a c section they will probably do it generally soon. It sounds like that maybe your best option because it sounds like your body isn't quite ready for labor
