Very upset & discouraged- currently in L&D
I suddenly had to be induced due to high bp and really did not want to. I've been planning this natural waterbirth and suddenly I'm in the hospital hooked up to all these ivs and machines and I'm just very overwhelmed. The nurse screwed up my iv & had to do it 7 times before getting it... I have a huge needle fear & this really wasn't a great way to start off. I was only 1.5 cm dilated so they started me on cervadil. 12 hours later: no change. She now wants to start me on something more aggressive. And eventually get pitocin going. I'm just so emotional and can't stop crying or calm down. Please give me some reassuring words or stories of positive inductions. I just sooo wanted this to be a wonderful natural experience and I'm terrified of it turning into this horrible traumatic thing. I really don't want an epidural and now my midwife just said she has only seen one ftm get induced and be able to go without epi.. which wasn't very helpful to hear. I desperately just want to go home and hide. I'm so scared.
