UPDATE! ADMISSION TONIGHT!

well ladies the time is here!! i cant believe it but i am extremely calm and really expected to be a little more nervous...I am getting admitted tonight since my cervix isnt yet favorable so they are going to administer a cervix softening med called cervidil or something like that... to help ripen the cervix on its own before inducing... induction time itself is 5 am but that all depends on whether this med puts me into labor or not (not common but possible)...

I will post pictures and birth story as soon as my mother lets me near the computer...(wont let me take it with me and i dont have internet access on my phone :/... )

Majikat good luck tomorrow!! we will be going through the same thing at the same time and cant wait to hear your story!!

everyone else... hope you are all doing well and your little ones are keeping one your feet :D

talk to you guys soon!!

hope all is going well for you. i was in last night but they sent me home was having contractions and the baby wasnt moving.. my blood pressure was super high so once they got that under control baby got active.. did find out i am dilated to a 2 and 50 percent effaced.. so dr said to keep doing my normal activity and he thinks i will have the baby by this weekend if not he will induce me by the 18th.

thank you all for the comments and wishes... i am laying here on my hubby's computer, they have me on monitors, doctor just put cervidil in  but they did say if i start cramping they can give me something for the pain.. also... doctor is going to give me ambien so i am well rested for the pitocin in hte morning... so hopefully ill be able to sleep.. have to lay flat on my side for two hours so using the laptop isnt too confortable.. back later...

Trying they don't use cytotec anymore because they have decided it's not safe so cervidil is all they use.

Good luck ladies!!!!

Good luck, they did cytotec(sp?) on me with my first son, all it did was make me cramp all night and stay awake uncomfortable so I was totally unrested for the next day of pitocin, it didnt change my cervix at ll.  If they offer you any pain pills take them.  Hopefully u wont have that problem, good luck.

The cervidil put my sister in law in labour very fast!!!

My dr isnt giving me cervidil since i am already dilated with a very soft cervix.....but it is posterior.....

I have to call my hospital at 630 am to seee if its okay for me to go in... because if they are busy then I cant.... and I will have to wait a few hours :( .... my hospital only has 4 labour rooms and I already know that there is one more girl being induced tomorrow.... so fingers crossed that no one goes into labour....


GOOD LUCK our babies will have the same birthday!!!!! cant wait to hear your birth story!!!!
