Meet Theodore! Induced labor 🧸

I was induced Sunday 8/23 at 8pm since I was 3 days overdue and showed NO signs of labor. My cervix was closed and I wasnt having any contractions. So they started me with the Foley bulb and that was honestly the WORST part of labor. Since I was completely closed and high, my OB struggled to insert it and it was EXCRUCIATINGLY painful. She had to try 3 times and it took 15 minutes but felt like HOURS. I had the bulb for about 7 hours but by the time it was removed, I was 5cm and having contractions! I got the epidural Monday morning at 9am and I breezed through the rest. I did have the peanut ball between my legs to dilate me slowly and was on pitocin. At around 10:30pm, I was feeling a massive pressure and the strongest urge to poop and sure enough, I was at 10cm and ready to push. OB came in, pushed for 30minutes, and my boy was born at 11:06pm
