With my friend they did the induction very slowly because she (her body) was actually not ready to have the baby. They started with gels, then more gels and then they used synto and finally they broke her waters. She had a lot of trouble pushing him out, to many people telling her how to push and her not pushing right and in had an episotomy and finally he was born 36 hours after the first lot of gel.

I guess that if she is contracting so often but not dilating they could possibly give her an epi if she has not already had one and then see if her relaxing helps. If not it would have to be CS.

I hope things progress for her soon.
