[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks all for sharing. If you opt for induction due to general AMA as opposed to a specific risk/identified issue, is the protocol to get epidural before all else? There was an earlier thread on here about elective inductions, and some responses mentioned epidural before Cervadil/Pitocin, others seemed like they had to start the induction and only get epidural after cervix was dilated enough. One of pros of induction would be minimizing pain - I'd want the epidural first thing before anything is jammed up there.

If anyone had a similar induction recently at Sibley I'd love to hear your experience of how it went! [/quote]
Every doctor is going to be different. Some want 4cm dilated before they will do the epidural. That would be the advantage of picking your induction day for the doctor who will support your plan

I had pitocin no epidural for premature rupture of membranes. Not gonna lie, I ate s--- for 10 hours but I got through it. It even felt good to push. [/quote]
