My birth story
Ok. So on Oct. 28 my dr sent me over to labor and delivery for a nst and blood work so that I can be induced on Nov. 2. While having the nst done my blood pressure went up pretty high so they wanted to monitor that for a hour. After the hour was up the midwife comes in and tell me that I'm being admitted because of my blood pressure and they are going to start the induction process. I start to panic because I have just dropped my husband off to work and I am supposed to pick him up later that night. So I call him and tell him that I'm being induced now. He calls his boss to come cover his shift. I call my mother in law to pick him up and bring him to me. Anyways. The midwife cones in and insert that evil cooks balloon into my 'cervix'. That's around 7pm. Around 10pm we started noticing decels in babies heart rate with contractions. Around 12am midwife checks me I'm only 3 cm dilated. At this point I ask for something for pain. They gave me something that starts with a N. After that's the decels in babies heart rate got worse so they decided to remove the cooks balloons. While removing these still inflated balloons she noticed they were in my vagina the whole time and not even in my cervix. At 3am she breaks my water. At 4:50am baby had a heart rate of 60 so they rush me in for a c section. At 5:11am baby girl born weighing 3lbs 15oz. This was the worse experience. Oh and I forgot to mention the epidural took 3 tries.
