Going into get induced this morning! **updated 10/02**

T-45 mins until we are due in the labor and delivery ward to be induced at 37w0! I am really excited and scared! Not sure what I was thinking when I started this whole thing- but we have been waiting 4 years to meet our rainbow baby. We went through MCs, surgeries, endo treatments and eventually donor egg IVF to get here.

Good luck to all the Mamas still waiting. You’ll get there soon! ❤️

Update 11pm 08/02: been on meds since 10am- 1.5cm dilated 50-75% effaced. The contractions are really strong and painful, coming every few minutes. They are going to give me a break from the induction and some pain meds so I can sleep and start again at 6am. They don’t know if the little one will come tomorrow but we are hopeful.

Update 6am 10/02: we are now 46 hours into labor, still no little one. We are starting Pitocin today which hopefully will get her moving! Yesterday I managed 100% effaced and 2.5cm dilated with Propess. I was also given an eidural because the contractions were too strong and frequent for me to do anything at all. I was literally shaking head to toe trying to breath through them. I am so glad for modern medicine- epidurals are actually magic I think. Hopefully we will get to meet our little one this morning!
