@2mommy, yes. every one and ahalf hours they give me more of a drip. I was at a three around 4 pm yesterday and then at two this morning I was at a four and they havent checked me again yet. when they check me next I can tell you if you want...

doesn't hurt I was on pitocin. my water never broke so they used a long super thin rod to break it it just kinda felt awkward. baby boy was fine

@bekka1071, so what do they do? increase the pitocin? have you dilated anymore since midnight?

@2mommy, im being induced right now. bwen on pitocin since midnight, and my nurse keeps askinb me if I feel my contractions and I really dont. im dilated at a four as of now.

Oh wow. they'd keep you in the hosp for those 3-5 days to monitor and give the meds?? I'm dilated to a 3 and 80% effaced.

Not a longer stay in the hospital, but it can take up to 3-5 days to have baby. Depending on the things they have to do to get you progressing. I started with cervadil, which has to be in for 12 hours and then pitocin. I ended up in a c section because my babies were showing distress during contractions. However, it wasn't because of the induction, the small contractions were hurting them so we decided it wasn't worth it. They just couldn't handle labor.
