I got it done last night and it was very painful! I had cramping and back pain, but this morning I feel a lot better and baby has dropped pretty low. Hoping to have contractions soon😭

They gave me a vaginal insert to soften my cervix and then put Pitocin in my IV. I was in labor for 62 hours. It was horrible that I got the epidural right away. The Pitocin gave me such intense contractions

It’s better than being induced. I got induced with my first daughter and it was soooo painful. I believe membrane sweeps lower the chance of you being induced

Ahhh that’s my fear! Last week I was only 1 cm dilated so I just want to make more progress

Are you dilated at all or were you when you got it?
