induction or planned c/s for pre-e? - Page 2

she has been taking a ton of EPO and drinking the RRL tea but has stayed high and firm.

The OB did two rounds of prostaglandins gel on her but it didn't start labor, just made her lower/softer (which as I understand is what it most often is suppose to do)?

They are wanting to start with a pit drip on Saturday, tomorrow, but I'm having trouble finding any information about the success of a vaginal birth, for a first child, using pit after prostaglandins gels only ripened her/failed to induce her a few days ago..

I would say try that first- the thing about labor or contractions is that it helps to prepare the baby to be born - just doing a c-section without contractions the baby's lungs tend to be wetter - and since your friend did not start labor but her cervix did change= better bishop's score which increases the chances that a pit induction will work.

No advice. I just hope all works out well for your friend.
