Failed induction...birthstory Iv never heard if anyone going through.

Nikki

Okay so I just want to share this because I have never heard this happening to someone before.

Sunday10/2 ;started labor induction for gestational hypertension. Via cervidal .12 hours and only 1 cm. The contractions were awful.which was expected. ( couldnt eat anything)

Monday 10/3: my doctor didnt come see me until 10am ( wasnt able to eat( they started cytotec or something i ended up getting 5 doses of it with no progress.contractions were 3 to 4 minutes apart.

Tuesday 10\4: one more does of cytotec still dilated to a 1. I cried when she said that. Gave me option to do a foley balloon or go home. Went home and my water broke at 930pm. Back to labor and delivery.

Wednesday 10/5: 12 am, arrrived at l&d dilated to a 4 contractions started picking up almost 2 minutes apart. Up to a minute apart by 7am. I had to get the epidural. The nurse thought i was lying cause my contractions were reading 5 to 6 but noope.

We progressed slowly after the epi by 2pm we were at 9 cm. By 4pm we were ready to go.

They had me try to push him out from 4 until 11pm

My doctor was in and out the whole time. Then last time she came inn ay 11pm and said he wouldn't fit through my pelvis bone so we got a csection.

I really didnt want that but its okay cause other than some jaundice. And he was 38 weeks and 3 days

They Let me take him home on 10/8.

I just cant believe they let me push that long.. My pediatrician was telling me all the different blood tests they havw to do now because my water was broke for so long before baby was delivered and that I started running a 101 fever . they gave me Tylenol and said continue. All od this with being strapped to oxygen. I really feel like this was to much for my body to endure. I got home so exhausted. And had to care for little man all by myself cause my hubby had to work thr next 5days. ( he used all his vacation time for the induction)

So one whole week at the hospital and so much emotional turmoil. Iv spent the whole 7 days of my sons life on high alert so afraid he would stop breathing while he was sleeping...my anxiety just so bad. Any little whimper in his sleep and im up and out if bed

Anyone else have an experience like this??
