Anyone else induced and ended up with an emergency c-section?

Question

Hey mamas! Hopefully everyone that has been complaining along with me has delivered safely and holding their little angels.

Anyone else go in to be induced expecting to deliver vaginally and ended up with a c- section?

I went in Monday night and after some complications with me and the baby, cervix only dilating 4cms, baby starting to mold through the 4cms, epidural, anesthesia, cervidil, cytotec, having my water broken, antibiotics for GBS+ and nubane.....I ended up having to deliver our son 30 hours later because I just don't have child bearing hips and my pelvis would not allow my son to pass.

On Wednesday morning at 5:31 am, my son, Hudson Isadore, was delivered at 6.6 lbs and 19 inches. What a gorgeous little boy he is.

I swelled up about 3x my size and c-section delivery is the worst recovery! I'm having a hard time emotionally because I feel so debilitated and want to enjoy every minute of my angel instead of having to deal with the pain physically. Any other mamas go through this?

Answer

Sounds like my first lol. Make sure you stay on top of your pain meds, stay hydrated, and eat! And take it easy! My recovery with my first was so much harder than this one because I had to go through labor. Not only was I exhausted from all of that, I was also sore. I took any help that was offered to me and don't regret it! Enjoy your bundle, relax, and take all the help you can get! I was so emotional after my first, I think I cried every night lol. It passed after a week or so and was much easier and less intense with my second. Just make sure you take care of yourself too 😊💕

Answer

Yup! I did. Got induced, Baby never dropped into birth canal. Got to 9 cm but still no sign of her dropping. Went in for the c-section and found out the umbilical cord was around her neck 3x. Which was why she wasn't moving down.

Answer

Induced with my first ended in a emergency C-section because my bones don't spread (realized this after 4 hrs of pushing)

Answer

I ended up with a cesarean as well. Pretty similar story...wouldn't go passed 4cm. It's been a week since my delivery and I'm finally starting to feel a little normal. Keep your head up girl! Each day will be a little easier.

Answer

I had an emergency c section because my son, also Hudson :), could not handle the contractions. His heart rate kept dropping and they didn't know why. When they took him out, the cord was wrapped around his neck!! So scary but everything ended up okay. I hated recovery. I'm now 15 days PP and I'm feeling so much better. I couldn't even shower on my own for like 7 days after he was born.

Answer

I'm in the same boat. Went through the whole induction process at 37 weeks because he was weighing smaller than previous appointments and my little guy was showing signs of decreased heart rate after a night of pitocin. As soon as my contractions hit I had to go in for a c section. His cord was wrapped around his neck twice. I pretty much missed his first week of life because of the pain and the medication making me sleep. Oliver is a month old today and the pain comes and goes, physically and emotionally. Just ready to be back to normal.

Answer

I had a very similar story. Inducted at 5am not a lot of progress started pitocin. The baby then broke my water and I was pretty excited thought things were finally going some place labored through a lot of pain, finally got an epidural. Stayed at 4cm forever. Checked baby boy he wanted to come face first which cause his heart rate to drop went into a csection and got my little boy at 838pn. It's been a slow recovery I felt really discouraged in the hostpital because I felt like nothing went as plan and I had been cheated out of my normal vaginal delivery. It took a little bit to pull myself back together and try not to blame myself. I'm so happy to have my little boy but this last week and a half has been hard struggling with the emotion, soreness, constipation, not being able to do as much as I wanted. I've learned to take one day at a time and be thankful for a healthy little boy.

Answer

We had a c-section but it wasn't emergency, doctor had figured if we weren't progressing enough that we would have to do it... induced and labored for  12 hours before getting an epidural to hopefully get relaxed enough to have her get lower in my pelvis.... nope.  So she was born at 10:16 pm by c-section.  Not st all how I wanted it to go but 🤷🏻‍♀️ I got my baby girl here safely... she was sunny side up and didn't want to go anywhere lol.

Answer

Yep, I went in and started to be induced at around 3pm on the 22nd, I wanted an all natural labor and was doing good until 2am on the 23rd I asked for an epidural and they didn't like how her heartbeat was so they gave me an emergency c section, born at 3:42am, 9lbs 5 oz. there is no way I was going to be able push her out.  I'm in SO much pain right now but I have my beautiful baby girl.

Answer

Oh and I was overdue by a week....I'm 4'11" and have a small frame. My mom is smaller and had 6 kids, two of which were over 9 lbs so I really thought I would do it.
