I had to be induced because I didn't do so well ok the fetal monitor- I was so looking forward to going natural and having that experience. So I went in at 3:30ish to be induced I wasn't excited because my birth plan was messed up. By 4 I was being induced, those first two hours I couldn't feel a thing but I was having contractions. By 6 I was 4cm dilated and was feeling something like period cramps they were coming 2-3 minutes apart, I got put on a drug through the IV ( I can't remember the name at the moment) and my boyfriend said I was high as a kite he took videos of me lol but I was already 6cm by then. I had asked to take a shower the back pain was so tough, but in the shower I felt like I had to push so I had to get out - I was 8-9cm by late and was feeling like I had to push but I was feeling horrible back pain and couldn't get anything- but my nurse was super nice and got me an epidural which probably wasn't the best because it did stall my labor I believe/ I did 2 hours of pushing the cord was wrapped around her neck and she finally came out! I didn't feel a thing whe she came out I was so drugged I had to ask my boyfriend for the story lol... But I couldn't be more happy to have her. I got cut with 15 stitches and they are a totally B!! But would do it all again for her. I had the best nurses and support system I could have.
