I went in at midnight and they put the blue gel on my cervix and I after about 15 to 30 minutes started having contractions, and 5 hours later they started potocin, and about 15 minutes after that they gave me my epidural, and at 10:23 that night after 2 hours of pushing the doctor use the vacuum to assist my pushing to get my daughter out. I was wore out so when they say rest for pushing they mean it, I wish I could of napped, so I'd suggest if anything nap when you can.
