Induced labor birth story

Kv

This is super long and I’m not sure if anyone is going to read it also I’m writing this at 5am because I can’t sleep.

I was scheduled to be induced on my exact due date 11/9 at 7:30pm but they didn’t start induction until 9pm I had diet controlled gestational diabetes which honestly I think I was mis diagnosed because I kept on measuring my sugar levels my whole pregnancy but they were always normal but I failed my 3hr glucose.

But since I’m a FTM I was just following everything doctors say and figured induction on my due date isn’t bad. So that whole week I was doing everything to try and go into labor naturally but nothing worked. The day of my induction I walked 3 miles and I felt not even one BH. She just wasn’t ready to come. So they started my induction with cervidil at 9pm. At my 39 week appointment I was 1cm dilated and 50% effaced so I figured cervidil will work but no I had it in for 12 hours and didn’t dilate at all. So the next morning they started pitocin and they agreed on giving me the epidural low dose right away because I had pain just wasn’t really dilated.

Let me back track a little. During the 12hrs with cervidil I had a doctor that I had never seen before she was the one who was on call so she took care of me. That’s how it works at the this hospital. So I was very nervous and uncomfortable with her. She went to do my cervical check which I was always very very nervous about and she made me very uncomfortable. She was soo rough I felt like I getting abused. She didn’t even sit when doing it or bend over or nothing , she just kept yelling at me open ur legs , keep ur legs open and do not touch my hand I need this hand in order for me to work.. It’s hard to write down how she made me feel but I was mortified by her. So she checked while I was crying and sobbing (btw she kicked out my husband and sister who were there for support) and I asked her afterwords why I felt so much pain I’ve had other doctor check me and it was never like this.. and honestly I think that’s where I pissed her off. After that she just left me there and never came and checked on me again. So her shift was over and my doctor came he was amazing but unfortunately during his 12hour shift I only dilated to 4cm and 80% effaced. I thought he would deliver my baby. So at 7:30pm on Sunday the mean doctor came again for her night shift. I was so scared. When she came she was pissed off that I was still there she wasn’t even trying to fake be nice to me her face showed it all that she really just didn’t like me at this point . But with pitocin and epidural I was able to progress and go to 10cm by 9:30pm but she said baby was at station 1 only. Right after she walked out maybe in 20minutes for every contraction I kept getting the urge to push. So I told the nurses who were absolutely amazing with me and they all weren’t a fan of the doctor either so they let the doctor know and she sais ok if feel like pushing than push and see what happens. So they set me up to push and than doctor comes back in the room and she sais ok u have 2hrs to push that’s all I’m giving you .. I was like wth I didn’t know this was a timed thing. Btw baby and I were doing great this whole time, heart beat and BP were perfect. So I start pushing which felt amazing the nurses were so encouraging but before I knew it time was up .. the nurses kept calling the doctor in saying look she’s so close look you can see baby’s head they kept telling me she has dark hair and I was just so excited that I was almost getting to hold my baby. But doctor said nope it’s been 2hrs u need to stop pushing we’re gunna prepare u for a c section you need to sign this consent . At that point contractions were back to back my body was pushing on my own it was so traumatic she kept saying idk what ur pushing ur not even close.. the nurses kept saying can u let her push 30 more minutes I think she’s very close but she insisted on a c section.. so I agreed I needed the baby out safe.. it took them almost an hour to set up for c section at this time the doctor turned off my epidural.. I felt like I was breathing my last breaths I really felt hopeless I kept begging them to hurry up and do something because I just felt the baby there and they wouldn’t let me push her out.. eventually the anesthesiologist came to get me and he’s all confused on why my epidural was off he turns it back up and the do the c section. It turned out that baby’s cord was wrapped around her neck twice which made it difficult for her to come out. I was knocked out when she was born but hubby was there to cut the cord and she was worth every ounce of pain she did so good for being under so much stress. The next morning this doctor came in didn’t event say good morning to me I had just woken up I was trying to feed the baby and so nervous and she just kept giving me the wth are u doing look instead of asking if I’m ok or something . She came to let me know that my pelvis is not made to have baby’s and that I should never try that ever again and that I have a fibroid that they found but she didn’t remove. I’m still confused on why she’s so mean she mentioned nothing about cord being wrapped around her neck she just wanted to let me know that my pelvis is not made to have baby’s. I guess I’m lucky I’m not born in an tie to times because according to her than what? I’m just glad my baby is okay.
