how many hours were you in labor? I was also induced with my first and was in labor for 18 1/2 hours but when I got to the hospital I was 1cm already. So I wasn’t sure how they’d go about it if I’m not open at all.
As long as you dilate during induction you don’t. They have more than one way to try. You still have a few weeks, you might be one that just starts to dilate at 40 over a quick amount of time.
you might not! You could be 0cm and then baby decides to come at 39 weeks and you jump from a 0 to a 4 in an hour. Everyone’s body is different :). If your water breaks and you’re not dilating enough they will give you pitocin or something to help along the way.

induced labors I believe are the longest labors in my own opinion

I think they try to induce in most cases first

@rileysmomma913 I did! About 8-10 hrs in but fully optional and they also had to break my water. He was really stubborn

How many weeks were you when you got induced?
Senya··
40 weeks and 3 days!

They would use medication to try to progress labor. If that didnt work or a medical emergency came up then theyd do a section.
