This is going to be short cause I'm not sure how much time I have! LOL
I went in to start the induction at 9am on Tuesday. I was 1-2cm and 50% so they started with cytotec. They checked me 12 hrs later and I was still about the same. They started talking about letting me go home for the night and coming back in the morning. Then I started having contractions about 5-7 min apart. I decided to get some sleep. When I woke up at 6am the contractions were gone.
Wed - In the morning they started me on pitocin, contractions started again but no changes all day, so they stopped it and decided to try cervidil. That was at midnight.
Thursday - No major changes, but she had dropped enough so they were able to break my water. They started the pitocin again at 1:45. At 4:30 the contractions were getting too strong for me to handle so I got the epidural. At 5:30 I was at 4cm and 90%. 10:15 I was complete and started pushing.
This little stubborn girl did not come out til 2:14am!

Congratulations and welcome to the world baby Laura!
And can I just remark on how perfectly round her sweet little head is...considering you pushed for 4 hours I'd have expected an epic conehead, but nope!
