Start of induction at hospital

[Brittny27]

At 6pm I was finally called to go into the hospital. I'm all settled in the room now waiting for the Dr to show up and do a cervical check.

I'm getting cervidal inserted tonight. They will start the pitocin in the morning.

I'm going to try and do a live post of my induction delivery.

I hope you are too Cass...Good luck Britt! I'm so excited that you decided to try a live-post!!!! I think this kind of thing is FANTASTIC for all the soon-to-be-mommas!

And it's funny because your adorable bump picture is right next to the "comment" window as I type...you're not gonna look like that much longer!

Go momma go!

It's now 8:22am.

Still not much sleep. The bed is so uncomfortable! My back and hips are hurting. I was offered some ambien last night now I wish I had taken it. I've taken ambien before and don't like how it makes me feel so I didn't take it.

There gonna take the cervidal out at 11 and start the pitocin. I have a few hours till then. I'm gonna get a shower and breakfast now.

You're three hours behind me, now I can watch the clock with you!

Have you tried asking for extra pillows and changing the position of the bed? Hopefully you can get some rest before things start picking up.

Good luck :-)

That's how my first induction was started - with Cervidal.  They did it as an outpatient procedure and sent me home (contractions started in the middle of the night).  The second time, they skipped right to a Cook's catheter ( a device with a balloon that they inflate inside of you to force open the cervix - which is MUCH more painful.....so you're lucky, actually :)

Can't wait to hear more!!
