Being induced!

Skylar

Since Monday night I was having decreased movement from my little guy, I tried coke, candy, juices, sex, jumping jacks, and he wouldn’t move! So we went into L&D just to get checked out on Tuesday. He instantly started kicking once hooked up to monitors.... of course, making me look silly. As it turned out though, my blood pressure was ridiculously high, 147/107 then 152/102 at 10 minutes later. My midwife said well that’s enough reason to stay and have a baby. She checked me, I was dilated to 2cm, at 8 we started my induction. She entered a Foley balloon catheter into my cervix and I started oral Cytotec. I’m having irregular contractions now, but they’re still pretty uncomfortable. I’m hoping I’ll be able to get some rest and have my little boy by tomorrow afternoon. If baby gives you worry, maybe it’s best to get checked out! My little guy ended up being fine, but he knew I wasn’t! Follow your gut feeling. 38w2d 💓
