FTM : I HOPED FOR THE BEST AND GOT THE WORST!!
I started trying to induce labor at around 37 weeks. To my disappointment everytime I went infor my weekly visit no progress no dilation nothing!!! I was to be induced at 41 weeks. Went in as scheduled at 39 and 7 and was started on cervadil. 24 hours and 2 doses later .... guess what more nothing !!! Was then asked to walk for a but before starting my Pitocin. Started pitocin and was ramped up gradually and after about 28 more hours I had gotten to 1.5cm. Very disappointing. So I was asked again to take a walk. On my walk baby's heart rate shot up to About 190. Nurse was called midwife was called and they talked to Doc. No progress plus tachycardia equals you guessed it my worst fear.....a c section. But guess what ?? It wasn't all bad except the part where I'd eaten only 2 hours prior and vomited nearly the whole time which had me in and out and I remember Nothing!!. Once in recovery I was still very nauseous and hardly remember a thing. But out of it all came my little CARAMEL !!! (CARMEN) and recovery was great!!!! She breast feeds like a little champion! And is so adorable and funny! All worth it!!!!!
