I`m 39 weeks pregnant and tomorrow at 6 I am going in for a induction. I am going to be having a `cervidil` put in at 6pm...to help soften my cervix...the doctor said it`s like a tampon...well I was wondering if any of you ladies havehad this and if you have....does it hurt when they put it in?...

On the third day they ended up giving me Pitocin via a drip which started contractions straight away. Best of luck!

mathew102508 - 1008 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I had this also, it doesnt hurt them putting it in, But i found it burned a little bit. Not enough to make it hurt but enough to notice it! I got it put in at 830pm and had my baby boy at 6:13am...so it works fast i think :D

megandgrace - 1008 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I had mine put in in the morning around 9:30ish and it didn't hurt being put in. My doctor said it had to be in for 12 hours so by the time they went to take it out i was having semi-strong contractions and the doc who came to take it out couldn't find it at first and she hurt me bad trying to get it out but finally she got it out. But it never bothered me while it was in there, it is very small. Good luck!!!
