xp: had my baby last year (GD

superaunt

I was due 1/2 but because of GD was induced on 12/27 though baby wasn't born til 12/29... here's the story (pic in siggy):

-12/27, Cervadil inserted around 930pm

-12/28, 7am, Cervadil removed and Pitocin started. Contractions begin pretty regularly within a couple hours.

-at noon I get up to pee, come back to bed, get situated, feel this clicking sensation inside and then I feel wet. I begin to freak out. I just didn't think it would go down that quickly (I had very little labor progress prior to any of this) and was worried something was wrong with Sabrina.

-then I got the urge to poop. badly. I was freaking out because of all the stupid I Didn't KNow I was Pg episodes I'd seen where women give birth to baby in toilet. 

-nurse comes in and I tell her I THINK water may have broken but not sure and that I really need to poop. She looked at me like I was crazy and eventually calmed me down enough to confirm that my water did break. I couldn't believe it was happening that fast!

-the urge to poop became increasingly strong and it freaked me out. it was also quite painful but apparently I'm a big baby. 

-epidural was offered and accepted within minutes (very scary getting it but worth all the relief)

-tried resting the remainder of the day while nurse kept checking in on me... was STARVING and couldn't eat anything but ice chips.

-9PM I'm 100% effaced but only 9cm dialated. Doc is in next room delivering a baby and I'm next. I feel nauseated and they say that's good and that puking would help me push.... I end up puking (nothing as I hadn't eaten in over a day) in 10 mins.

-9:45PM still not 10 cm dialated but they decided to let me try pushing so the fun begins.

-11:50PM doc says that while I'm pushing great, baby is not cooperating (she could touch baby's head when I pushed but as soon as a relaxed, baby slid back up) and h/r is dropping when I push; doc urges c-section. I assured everyone I could keep pushing but didn't want to risk anything with Sabrina. They again said, it would be best for the baby to do the c/s. I agree so they let me "relax", baby's h/r is perfect again, and I begin to freak the F out.  I felt as if the room was closing in on me and all air had been sucked out of it. I was sweating from every pore in my body and then some, begging them to cool down the room.. and I was beyond starving (hadn't eaten since 6PM on12/27 bc of GD) and they refused to give me anything more than ice chips. Though I was gonna have a panic attack and they were taking their time prepping the surgery room.

-12 something AM 12/29, they wheel me into the surgery room and prep me for c/s. This whole process lasted WAY longer than I imagined for some reason...and was pretty scary because you can't see a damn thing and really have to put your trust in people you've never really met before.

-1:20AM my beautiful Sabrina Gisele was born and my life will forever be changed. 

She's completely healthy too @ 7lb12oz. My blood sugar levels are good again too.

GL to you all!!

Congrats. I am sorry you had to go through that much labor and still end up with a CS but your baby is beautiful and well worth it I am sure.
