Remember to rest. Cervidil® may need to be repeated if your cervix is still not ready.

Is Cervidil enough to start labor?

Can Cervidil alone start labor? Generally, Cervidil is given to prep the cervix by softening it, not to induce labor directly. Some women may experience cramping or mild contractions as it works though.

Can Cervidil harm baby?

As mentioned above, there are a few serious side effects of using Cervidil to induce labor. The first one is that it can cause the woman to have hyperstimulation and too intense contractions. This can lead to cutting off the baby’s blood or oxygen supply. This is dangerous and can lead to death or birth injuries.
