Getting induced now!

So after failing a second NST and due to low fluids, not to mention many other complications in this pregnancy. We got sent to the hospital today to be induced tonight. Hooked up to pitocin and waiting for the fun to begin! So excited to meet my little girl, but freaking out at the same time.

  • Thoughts and prayers for LO and you for a safe delivery. In (hopefully) a few short hours you'll be on the other side and enjoying having her in your arms. All is so worth it!
  • Good luck and hope all goes smoothly

    14 hours later... we are finally getting somewhere. Doctor said I was about halfway there and he broke my water. Hopefully the second half goes way faster than the first.

    After 23 hours of labor and 30 mins of pushing she arrived last night at 04:06pm. She was 6lbs 3.2 Oz and 19inches. I had a 1st degree tear so they put a couple stitches in just in case. The second half definitely went quicker. I went from 6 to 8cms in less than an hour. However her heart rate started dipping with every contraction. So they took me off pitocin and let me body work naturally the rest of the way. I was stuck at 9.5cms for a few hours. They wouldn't let me push because they wanted her to drop a bit more. Well it turns out she was stuck, so she has a bit of a cone head right now. Finally the nurse let me start pushing just to see. She started moving right away and dropped quickly after that. I had an epidural after the broke my water. It made pushing so much easier! I didn't want to get one at first but the pain just became too much after they broke my water. Also after hearing the lady in the next room screaming through her delivery, I was also glad to have one. One of the nurses said she came in too late and didn't have time to take anything before she was pushing already.
