I went to the hospital on 8/13 at 7pm for my scheduled induction. Up until that point I was 39 wks and had no progress.....no dilation or effacing. Well after the nurses got me hooked up to everything and settled in,they decided to put the cervadil in. Well at that point, they discovered I was already 4cm
So my Dr told them to take the cervadil out and start me on pitocin. This was around 10pm. I just layed around the rest of the night with no pain. The nurse checked me again around 6am and I was still only 4cm
Around 9am I finally started feeling my contractions and I started getting uncomfortable. So they gave me some pain meds in my IV. I don't know what it was but it knocked me out within a couple of minutes
. At around 10am, I was awoken by the nurse checking me, only to tell me that I was still 4cm
So they called my Dr and she told them to break my water. After breaking my water, everything seemed to progress.
The next time they checked me I was 7cm. I was trying my best to not get the epidural but my pain was so bad because of the high dosage of pitocin they were giving me. My contractions were only about a minute apart! So I started screaming, lol, for my epi at about 8cm. After they gave it to me I was knocked out until about 5pm when my Dr came in and checked me and told me that I was 10cm but that my babies head was at a -3 position. She said that she would wait 30mins, so her head could come down more. Well 30 mins later her head was at a -2. My Dr said that she would have me push for an hour and that if her head didn't come down anymore, then she would have to do a c-section! Which I did not want! So I started pushing with everything I had at 6:15pm and my little Kylie was here at 6:37pm.
