Oct 8 I came to the hospital for my induction appointment was given medicine to soften my cervix I had already been contracting all day off and on so I started dilating and contracting regularly before I could even be given the induction medicine...I was in labor for a total of 16 hours I got my epidural pretty early but it only worked on one side of my body... I ended up getting a emergency c section at 445pm and baby girl was 7 pounds and 9 ounces and healthy
