my birth/being induced story...
I wanted to write this while it's still fresh in my mind, I just had my baby 7 hours ago!!!
so I got here at 5:30, I was 3 cenimeters dilated and 75 effaced. started pitocin at 7:15, they checked me 4 hours later and I was only a 4, I was breathing through my contractions at this point, I could handle it. so then my doctor said she wanted to break my water, it didn't hurt, just felt very weird. omg, 10 mins later my contractions were unbearable....I started screaming at my husband to tell them I'm ready for my epidural, I was bummed cause I kinda wanted too try a natural labor for my last baby, this is my 3rd baby, but I couldn't handle it and I didn't wanta stress the baby out. 20 mins later I got it, didn't hurt that bad, contractions hurt worse, so a hr later they checked me and Bam I was 7cm dilated! 10 mins later before the nurse walked out I told her I had pressure and she said yes I can see the head and you can push. she called. the doc and she was born in less than 20 mins. I cried all last night worried about this, but everything went great. people try to scare you about being induced. bad things can happen, but a natural birth has it's risks too, my labor was 6 hrs.
