Failed Induction
Went in September 25th to be induced due to polyhydramnios. Started cytotec at 12:00am and ended up having to take 5 doses of it from then until Wednesday morning at 9am and was only dilated to 3cm. I had gotten an epidural done Monday at 12:30am because I was having consistent contractions every 2-3 minutes, just not dilating. Wednesday morning they decided to shut off the pitocin and epidural and the midwives tell me they wanted to send me home and that a c-section wasn't an option. I didn't think it was a good idea, so I asked another doctor and she said I was so small (I'm only 4'9) and thought I should get a c-section. So at 12:00pm Wednesday September 28th we had our princess. She weighed 7lbs 3oz and measured 18 3/4 inches
