Induction
I'm still looking for induction stories. I'm getting induced this week (at 38 weeks.) This is my first baby so I'm super nervous anyway. What's your experience with induction?
My due date was Sept 8, 2014 but my daughter was quite comfy so I got scheduled for induction on Sept 9. At 7:30am I was brought to the l&d room where they set up the monitors and everything. At 9:30 they started pitocin which didn't do much to help dilate me more I was already at 4cm. The contractions were more painful then i ended up being able to handle so i got the epidural. At noon the doc came in and broke my water which made me automatically go to 5cm. About 1:30 the doc came in and I was at 10cm but my daughter was still higher up than they wanted so they had me sit up so gravity would help with her coming down. At 210 the doc came back to check and decided I was ready! After 15mins of pushing my princess was born at 2:38pm weighing 7lbs 10.8oz and 20.5in long! I didn't tear at all this time but definitely sore!
They tried cervidil to soften my cervix then pitocin to get me to dialate didn't work finally they broke my water that didn't help either I ended up with a csection :/
