She's finally here! Hattie Jean was born at 5:39am via c-section. 8lbs, 6oz 22 inches. Induction started Sunday night with cervadil, which did absolutely nothing. I was still only 1cm and 40% effaced Monday morning. Two rounds of cytotec got me to 3cm by 2pm. Then we started Pitocin and I was on that until 11pm, with contractions every 2 minutes. Unfortunately they did nothing and I was still only 3cm. They turned it off at 11pm so we could sleep and see if my body took over. Started one more round of cytotec at 3am. Doctor came in to check me around 4:30 am and I was back to 2cm and baby's head was even higher. Doctor thought nature was telling us there was some reason hey head wouldn't engage even with all my contractions, so we opted for a c-section. I was already 40+2 and we were worried about a repeat shoulder dystocia if we let her stay in longer. The c-section wasn't too bad, can't speak to recovery as I'm still numb. So far she's nursed great and is sleepy!
