I went in Monday to get induced due to Gestational Hypertension, I was 37+2. Unfortunately my body hadn’t started to dilate or thin, so we had to start a square one. They started with the Cytotec and after the first dose I was 1 cm and 50% effaced, since it went so well they decided to try another dose, nothing changed.. next step was the Foley catheter, I was TERRIFIED of that for some reason.

I really didn’t know what was going on it was all so hectic but luckily they got the bleeding to stop and baby girl was okay. I’m so thankful my body had enough energy to push her out! I’m
