Wish I knew how to do that. What's the trick ladies??? I just google whatever I'm looking for. Like "excited gif" and then choose one. Then when I click on it, but phone gives me the option to grab the URL. If yours does not, just grab the URL from the bar. Then put the URL in between [ img] URL [/img ] but with no spaces. That's my non techy explanation.

Apparently I was not dilated at a 2 like my OB said. ๐ I think maybe she was trying to appease me?
Anywho I have the cervidal? Inserted into my cervix to soften it and the nurse said it'll take 12 hours. They won't even check me again until then, so I'm hanging out until tomorrow morning.
It sucks because I have the fetal monitor strapped to my stomach, a super itchy IV and they won't let me eat. Lol but I have to focus on the end game!

Sorry you weren't dilated yet as you thought you were, that must have been disappointing. And oy they won't let you eat AT ALL till baby gets here or..?? How can they expect you to just hang out that long (12h for the cervidal and then however long it takes still) without food? Woof! You got this though!! I'm off to bed soon but will definitely be checking first thing tomorrow to look for updates! โฅ

I think I'll have to ask next time they check on me. I did sneak a small granola bar.

@starzia, it's pretty comical when people who went into labor easily too give you "advice". I walked 30 mins every morning and HIKED up damn mountains once a week at least. And here I am, 41 weeks and being induced. I don't believe anything works other than your body is going to do what it will do when it wants too. Lol.

I want to update, but it's just complains and negative stuff so I'll refrain. Lol
So I'm almost to hour 24 into this induction and I won't know anything for another few hours. Physically I feel ok, just light cramping. But I'm exhausted, there were 13 other women here last night. So it was loud.

Ugh they said the Dr will come and check me in an hour and if I haven't progressed enough, they'll skip the pitocin and go straight to a c-section ๐ฃ. I'm so bummed about this and I really hope it doesn't come to that.

I'm so bummed about this and I really hope it doesn't come to that. Ohhh lady - sending all the progression vibes your way! Will they perhaps let you try with pitocin after all if that really is something you would like to try? Though - while I understand the disappointment - what is most important now is a healthy baby and a healthy mum hun *hugs* so if this is the best choice for you now... Thinking of you! ๐๐๐

He is gorgeous @easilyunamused! Thank you! We definitely weren't expecting all that dark hair. MH and I both were super blonde when we were babies.

His hair is so dreamy! ๐๐โค๏ธ I wouldn't be surprised if it turns blonde around 6 months. DH and I both had blonde hair as kids, and DS was born with a thick head of dark hair - which surprised everyone. By 6 months, however, the dark hair had fallen out and was replaced with blonde. So you never know!

Work can be so draining when it's just problem after problem. โน๏ธ I am just sitting over here disinfecting everything and hoping the stomach flu DH caught a few days ago doesn't migrate to myself or DS. I feel like the stomach flu could cause problems for pregnant women - especially in the third trimester. DNW to mess with that. I have been washing my hands a million times a day and wearing a face mask too. ๐ท๐ท๐ท
