This baby is never coming out

Alicia

I started my induction today around 1:30 pm. I was only about a cm dilated and 30% effaced. After 2 rounds of cytotec there has been pretty much no change 😭 they inserted a balloon catheter to hopefully encourage contractions and dilation and just started the pitocin. Its already 11:45, that's 10 hours into my induction. I'm so bummed because my first induction and labor was 24 hours and I thought your second labor was supposed to be quicker! It's looking like it's going to be about the same time line as my first. I just wanted this baby to come shooting out of me 😑 I know I shouldn't be discouraged because I'll get to meet my baby boy tomorrow but as of right now I just want to be upset about it. Thanks for listening to my rant.

Update: 15 hours in and I finally hit 5 cm, hopefully it wont be too much longer now!
