37 w induction/natural birth story
Hello Ladies! Well the last 36 hours have been crazy! I'm gonna do in a timeline.
8:45 went for an ultrasound and was told my fluids were good at an 8 but Julia would not move to save her soul. I had ate some yogurt and drank some OJ which had made her move but it had been about 45 mins at this point.
9:45 saw my OB and she was like well it looks like we are having a baby today and sent me to L&D!
11:00 I'm now hooked up to everything including pitocin and am measuring at a 3 still.
12:00 OB comes in and checks me and I'm up to a 4cm and breaks my water.
2:00 Nurse checks me and I'm at a 5
at around 5:30 the doc who was gonna deliver me came in and I was at a 6 and she pushed on things to get them moving. we talk about pain med options but I really don't think I need them and don't want them
at 8:00 I was finally at a 7after several checks
at 10:00 I was at an 8 and this is when things really started moving.
at 10:30 I was a 9 and I was really starting to hurt!!!
at 11:00 I was a 10 and they were getting everything set up for delivery
at 11:30 I was ready to push, and when I say ready, I was beyond ready, I had so much pressure down there I actually got sick and my contractions were off the chart. I wouldn't have made it without Kevin, he really was my rock! I was sitting on the edge of the bed and would put my face in his chest and he would remind me to breath.
after 20 mins of pushing we had our little girl! She is the most gorgeous child I have ever seen, and has just the right mix of her dad and me!

Thank you ladies!
I should have told all the story from last week til now. Wed went in for a growth u/s as my doc thought she was measuring big and we found my fluid level to be low so I went back in Thurs and my fluid was good but my doctor was worried about it so I went in on Monday and that is when she was not moving...at all. She had a strong HB and breathing was good but she could only give me a 6 on her bio-physical and that's when I went to my doctor.
I was a tad nervous about getting induced and wanting to go natural but felt okay with the fact that I was 37 weeks. Just don't stress, things will go fine!
