[quote=Anonymous]I had PROM with my first. Showed up at the hospital with a Bishop score of 2 and no contractions. I was "fingertip dilated" according to midwife, so...maybe 1cm? Started pitocin. 6 hours on pitocin got me to maybe 2cm. Went ahead and got an epidural at the suggestion of midwife, who thought it might relax my body enough to encourage dilation (pitocin contractions after rupture of amniotic fluids is torture). I dilated very rapidly after the epidural. I was surprised, because I always thought there was some guidance regarding dilation and receiving an epidural, but that wasn't the case for me.[/quote]
