For mine whole process took 6 hours.
Check for dilation
Insert pill
Insert the tube for urine (idk what is it called)
Contractions killing me so I took laughing gas as well as requested for epidural
3 hours later,
Insert drip needle and given epidural
Labour.
Overall apart from contraction, everything was painless. (I was high on gas half of the time I couldn’t control my body although I can hear what is going on 😂)
