Finally went in for induction Friday night at 10, was only dilated to a 1 and they said maybe 30% effaced. Doc decided that I needed cervadil first so that was placed around 11:30pm. I had been having contractions on and off all day at this point. They were maybe 25-30 min apart when we went in.
Decided to send H home around 12:30 because they said that they leave the cervadil in for 12 hours and I should be able to sleep for awhile. I swear it was almost as soon as H left that i started to feel stronger/closer together contractions. I finally asked the nurse if she would check me at around 2 because they were getting really intense. When she did I had progressed to a 6 and 70% effaced. So I asked when/if they were doing pitocin and when I could get an epidural. She assured me I could get the epidural whenever but that they likely wouldn’t do pitocin since I was having my own contractions and the cervadil was doing it’s job. I only ended up lasting until 3:30 before I begged for the epi. Called H around 4 to have him come back. Epi was placed just as he was arriving.
They checked me again after about half hr and I was fully dilated and 100% effaced. They said “could be soon but could also be a few more hours try to sleep”. Was just falling asleep and my water broke at 6! My doc got there, thankfully. Baby didn’t like the contractions and had some struggled with decels but as I was pushing she seemed to recover better and better. She arrived sunny side up at 7:35! She weighed in at 7lb 4.5 oz and is 22 in long!!
