Mrs C - Lucky u! Can dilate so fast.
Let me share my long induction process:
Inserted 1 induction pill in evening. Till next morn, only dilate half cm. (had to induce coz waterbag leaked) So inserted another one...few hrs later, still only half to 1cm dilation. Gynae say still can laugh n tok, so suggested induce by drip. soon aft, contraction pain kicked in, BUT i was still only 1-2cm dilated! For the next 4-5 hrs, only at 3cm. Couldnt stand the pain so asked for epi...it was my life saver, coz imagine for someone who dilates so slowly, tink without epi i would have fainted frm pain long ago..With epi, i jus layed there numb till they say i finally dilated, some 25 hrs later...used 2 epi dosages n suffered bad side effects like excessive shivering n vomitting soon aft..i remembered my gal was also drowsy so i din latch straightaway..tink could be due to epi.
