My edd was Feb 9th, but at my 39 week checkup on Feb 3rd my blood pressure was really high. That along with other health issues throughout my pregnancy I was scheduled to be induced the following morning.

We checked in at 6am. An IV started at 8:05, but contractions too consistent and baby was not active enough for Pitocin. I couldn't feel any contractions. The pitocin started around 11 and they broke my water around noon. I got up about half an hour later to use the bathroom and amniotic fluid went everywhere. There was a lake on the floor. 😂 and I could feel all the contractions after this, which is when I realized I was having back labor.

Originally I told myself I was going medication free, but decided to try iv pain meds. The only kind they offered was fentanyl. That was given at 1:30 and I threw up a little later. The nurse doubled that first dosage an hour later & i was 4.5cm dilated. Noticed bloody mucus plug pieces around 3:20. My blood pressure kept rising so my dr was pushing that I get an epidural to drop it, that was given around 3:30.

Two hours later my right side was still more numb than left, but my blood pressure was finally dropping due to the epidural. I could feel contractions on my left side and it was barely numb around 6:30. I was 9.5cm dilated then.

Spencer Allen born at 8:46 pm after 2.5hrs of pushing. 8lbs 12oz & 19in long. The nurses called him a little linebacker & were cooing about all his hair. He peed on them. 😅

My Dr was only there for maybe 45 mins of that. She have me an episiotomy without asking/explaining why she thought I needed one. My fiance was in the bathroom, otherwise he would've advocated for me. 😔 She also told me at one point that if I didn't have him in the next 15 minutes then she'd give me a cesarean. My son and I weren't in any distress to medically need one, she was just being inpatient. 🙄 She numbed me some more before stitching me up and told me I was being dramatic when I told her that I could feel the needle.

Nurses came in and pushed on my belly every 15 minutes for 2 hours. It switched to every 2 hours after that. We were moved to new room around 12:30am and the pitocin turned off about an hour later. They kept it on to help my uterus contract & shrink down.

All of our nurses were amazing, except for the peds nurse. 🙄 And my ob acted way different than she did at my appointments. I asked a bunch of questions at my appointments, she answered them one way and the complete opposite happened while at the hospital. 😔

I don't mean to scare anyone, just share my story. I hope nobody is stuck delivering with a Dr that acted like mine.
