My 37 week I was just feeling horrible. I had decreased fetal movements and high blood pressure. I went to the hospital that week and visited OB twice that week as well. On Friday 7/19, blood pressure was 152/91 I was dizzy, vomitting, headache and back pain. My OB said induction since BP was not resolving and baby and my life was at risk. Left to the hospital after registration the time was 1:15 PM and I have birth at 7:26 PM. The peanut ball does wonders, I extremely uncomfortable since I felt so much pressure from the baby's head. Last I remember 4:58 PM i

was 2 cm and at 6:38 PM I was at 10cm.

I pushed for 20 minutes and saw my beautiful baby boy. I ended up with bilateral labial laceration, periurethral laceration, midline laceration and episiotomy.

Luke weighed 5lbs 13 oz and went straight to the NICU for tachypena and pleural effusion, still there but I am hopeful I will be able to take him home on Friday.
