Ladies what do they insert in the vagina to help you soften the cervix and dilate? Dr said there doing that to me…

never knew they did that only knrw of the meds before pitocin to help dilate it starts with a c

I'm getting pitocin also but my cervix is very hard so there inserting something to soften it first then pitocin...:( @mommyof2016

yes it starts with a c a girl I know got it it just hurt when get contractions hit. good luck I wish I was you lol

Cervidal

What's a cervidal? @britt16 I hope that works fast!! @britt16 and @mommyof2016

It's kinda like a tampon but it feels a little rough. They try to stick it in as fast as possible and part of the string hangs out. I went through three of them and barely made any progress. But I wasn't dilating or anything when they started it. @squishy3

That's what I'm afraid of going through all this and it won't work and end up with c section.. @britt16 so I'm guessing you had a c section?

Yes it is cervidal (sp?) @squishy3 I had it and 12 hours late no progress. I had to have c section since doc had already discussed that with me. C section wasn't as horrible as I imagined! Baby was born 08/16 and I am completed healed. Praying all goes great for you ❤️ FYI we didn't do pitocin though

Did the cervidal hurt you? @babyjrsmomma I might end up with c section myself.. Never thought I would have one because my other 2 kids were vaginal.. I'm getting so nervous...

It was extremely uncomfortable @squishy3 not going to lie 😬 because they have to put it in "dry" no gel. This was my first baby so I was all kinds of nervous

No after the cervidal they inserted a pill that helps dilate. They disolve within 4 hours. They did two of them. With all three cervidals and the two pills I had only made it to like a 2 but I was completely thinned out. She was able to reach up far enough to break my water and then I had automatically went to a four and then they started pitocin. @squishy3

Oh gosh!! The things we women have to endure... I've had kids but never had the cervidal so wanted a heads up.. I hope the whole process doesn't take forever:( @babyjrsmomma

@britt16, ok so who knows what will happen with me tomorrow but I'm praying for the best.. Thanks ladies!

Right @squishy3 and I am hoping it will be smooth for you and not take long! Best wishes to you ❤️❤️

Thanks girlie!! @babyjrsmomma
