Failed induction - going for c-section tomorrow

I went in this morning at 1:15am to get started with an induction.  They put me on cervadil at 4am and by 12:30pm I was in agony with contractions and cramping.  They would only allow me to be in one position and it was a position that caused me severe cramping.  I could tolerate the position for about 30-40 minutes and then I had to go off the fetal monitors and take a break.  I did this for hours and the contractions kept intensifying and it was at that point my doctor gave me the option of a c section.  She said it would just keep getting worse and this wasn't even labor.  I felt like such a failure and a huge wuss.  At 12:30pm we decided to have the nurse take the cervadil out and check my progress and I was still 1 cm so no progress whatsoever.  The contractions immediately stopped and I was able to change positions because I no longer had to be on continuous fetal monitoring.  I am now scheduled for a c section tomorrow afternoon.  This entire time I wanted a vaginal delivery and deciding to switch to a c section was so hard for me and I know my family and husband are disappointed.  I wanted my girls so badly today and now I have to wait till tomorrow.  I just couldn't handle the pain =(

Re: Failed induction - going for c-section tomorrow

  • You are not a failure, never ever think that.  You are a huge success for carrying your twins for so long.  Yay, great job!!   Boo on anyone who thinks otherwise, once they see those healthy babies delivered safely they will not care how they got there.  Ane neither should you.  All the best tomorrow, good luck :):)

  • It is completely out of your hands!  Half of twins are delivered via c-section, so you're definitely not alone.  In the end, all that matters is that your beautiful girls will be in your arms tomorrow afternoon!

    Good luck!!

  • NOBODY is disappointed in YOU - they might be sad the babies aren't here yet- but don't worry about not having vaginal... any way they come out is good if they are safe and you, too.

    FWIW- my vaginal birth recovery was HORRIBLE and my c/s recovery was a piece of cake :)

    good luck!

  • fwiw...I was induced for 2 days..foley bulb and pitocen and never dialated past 4 cm...went in on a friday...had them via c section sunday...family was anxiously awaiting their arrival and I am sure were disappointed they didn't come friday as planned...no worries - your babies will be here tomorrow and it will be amazing!
