induced labour

It's different for everyone. I was induced at week 38+ & I am less than 2cm dilated after 24 hrs. They had to break my water bag to speed up my dilation process but it took almost 12 hrs to be fully dilated. It only took me a few pushes to get the baby out. If you are unable to bear the pain, do ask for epidural. For myself, my contraction pain increases each time they check for my dilation, the worst decision is not taking epidural when they break my water bag as my pain level has already reached 7-8.
