I was due August 10th but got induced August 5th and they started the cervidil at 4 pm and took it out at 4am August 6th and started pitocin at 6am I labored for 6 hours and got no place only a finger tip so my doctor decided to try the whole process over again and they stopped my pitocin and within 45 mins I was only having small contractions verse the horrible monsters I was having. They started the cervidil again at 8pm that night and pitocin again at 6am and I got my epidural within a hour after starting the pitocin because I was not going to put up with the pains I felt the day before for 6 hours at all! After 2 failed attempts with my epidural she finally got it right and it was in heaven! I only dilated to 3 cm in 6 hours and then I went from a 3-8 in 2 hours and from a 8-10 in 30 mins. When I reached 8cm I started feeling my contractions again and they were a minute apart and hitting hard. My nurses didn’t believe me when I called back 30 minutes later telling them I had to push because they thought it was going to be another 2 hours but nope! My body started pushing itself! I pushed for a whole hour straight! And my son came into the world August 7th

weighting 8lbs 3 oz and 21 1/4inches long at 11:06pm! I did have to get 2 internal stitches but recovery has been great! I am in love!
