I went in at 10 pm. There were busy so they put me in a room but they were supposed to put me in triage for 6-8 hours. So I ended up in a L&D room and they kept me there until the next day in the afternoon. Then I went to a delivery room. And hung out there and they started pitocin at 5 pm. I was in labor for 22 hours. I had him the next day at 3:45 pm.(: they even took me off pitocin for a while cuz my contractions were too intense and causing stress on my son

@missalexisnicole, did you go early in the morning and were there all day? Did they make you start in triage if you were being induced or right into a birthing suite?

For me they inserted a gel into my cervix 3 times (once every 3 hours) to ripen it and then they gave me some pill by mouth and that didn't start labor. So then they started me on penicillin (because I was GBS positive) and then pitocin

Thank you ♡ @rheganolivia keep me posted on what they tell you.

@tmills, hoping for a safe easy delivery for you momma! So happy you get to meet your sweet baby. (: and thank you!!💜

I am getting induced on sunday at 9pm so I am hoping things go smoothly and just in case they don't let me eat I'm gonna eat a huge dinner lol ! @rheganolivia hope you get to be induced on you due date, best of luck and postive vibes !

@kimberlyyyy, I really want him on his due date too! He's due the 28th. So I'm hoping my midwife will let me schedule the induction on that day. I vaguely remember her saying I could eat, they let my sister but because she had already been throwing up and had no energy 😂. Thank you for your help!

No, we started the induction process at 2am (because I wanted my son born on his due date and they wanted to induce me anyway), and maybe around 4-5am I ate. The rules used to be they didn't want you to eat because of the risk of throwing up but they've lightened up the rules, because not eating is torture to pregnant women 😂. I wasn't in pain until the last 3-4 hours.

@kimberlyyyy, thank you! So you just kind of hung out in your hospital room all day? Were you in pain the whole time? I'm brining my laptop because my husband is in Afghanistan and we can skype.

@rheganolivia, hello I have been induced one time you are not allowed to eat or drink only ice chips and you may be able to walk that's all up to your doctor

You can walk until you get the epidural. Basically for me they put a pill into the cervix to ripen it, and then did it again 6? Hours I think, and it was a whole lot of waiting for awhile. I ate and I was fine. Eventually they started me on pitocin and that sped up contractions. They broke my water and then I got a shot (because the anesthesia team wasn't in the hospital yet), then got the epidural and eventually pushed. Took 14 hours from start to finish but last 4 hours were when things were actually happening.
