Each CERVIDIL vaginal insert contains medicine called dinoprostone, which is similar to a natural prostaglandin found in your body. Dinoprostone signals your body to begin the process that helps your cervix gradually soften, thin, and dilate (open) as it would have done naturally.
How long does it take to dilate with Cervidil?
AFTER THE CERVIDIL IS INSERTED, It takes about 30-40 minutes for the insert to swell. You will remain in bed for an hour.
What happens after Cervidil?
With Cervidil you can expect to feel backache or cramping or have some pink vaginal discharge. It usually takes several hours for anything to happen. Sometimes contractions come too close together. If this happens, call the Maternal Infant Child Triage Nurse.
