Had a sweep today at 40+4, she said I was 1cm dilated and cervix soft but posterior.
I'm booked in for an induction in 3 days time.
Reading online about induction, my hospital website says they will do 3 doses of Prostin (each 6 hrs apart) if the cervix is closed. If the cervix (neck of the womb) is closed the midwife will insert a tablet (pessary) into your vagina.^

If your cervix has started to dilate Prostin is unnecessary and we can artificially rupture your membranes (ARM) ‘break your waters’
Does this mean they would want to go ahead and break my waters straight away, even with being only 1cm?

Do they still use Prostin tablet if you're 1cm dilated on arrival?
