Another update here: I've been at the hospital for over 24 hours now trying to get this labor started and I can finally say that I am almost 3 cm and they're going to start the pitocin now! I hope to be meeting Alex later this morning or early this afternoon!

They put a pill on my cervix to start things along, but it did nothing. The doss only lasts 4 hours so they did another dose and after that I was still only 1 cm dilated and had effaced to 50%. So they put the cervadil in around 3 in the afternoon and around 6ish I started to get regular contractions. At 9 I took a sleeping pill but some of the contractions still woke me up and I went to the bathroom around 2:30 to find that the cervadil had fallen out along with more of the mucus plug. I informed the nurse and that's when the doctor came into to check me. Fingers crossed things go quickly and smoothly from here on out!

Hellojello - thinking of you this morning! I had that pitocin stuff last time and it didn't help me, but when my mom had it, I shot out so fast they had to hold me in until the doc was ready to catch me - - so you never know how your body is going to respond. What worked for me was the epidural because I was able to relax. Hoping all goes smoothly!

Thank you for the thoughts! I'm currently up to 9 ml/hr and they can of only go up to 19 ml/hr. They increase it 2 ml every half an hour, starting at 1 ml. And honestly, I felt the difference in contractions immediately, so I'm hoping it won't be too much longer!

Looking forward to your updates hellojello!

That sounds pretty intense already! Hang in there! I remember the nurse would pass by the little computer attached to the IV line, punch in a new number, and just a few seconds later I would be gripped by an even stronger contraction. It IS really immediate. Even though I am not much of a noise maker, it started feeling like a contraction with an extra twist and it made me grunt involuntarily. UGH!

Kay- congrats!!! Well done!! So happy you got your vbac!!! Enjoy baby Ivy xx

Hellojello- induction is such a long and brutal process! I went through exactly that with my first. She was born after 26 hours of putting in the cervadil. Pitocin will get things moving though, don't worry! Hopefully you will have a baby by this morning! Good luck girl not long now xx

 

[banana07]

Oh more babies!! Congrats Kay, love the name and delighted u got the vbac u wanted!! It's v v odd having the girl after 2 boys isn't it esp the nappy change!!

Hellojello, good luck cannot wait to hear the big announcement!!

What us this pill ye all talk about for induction?? There was no mention of a pill in my hospital just broke waters waited 2 hours I'm which nothing happened so started piction drip?? This pill seems to make it very long and drawn out?

Hope becka has good new for us soon!!

Getting in great here finally coming down of cloud 9!! Two boys just love her, James us trying to be gentle but he's such a brute u have to watch him like a hawk!!

Been people around me since Friday but last night dh had to work (off again now they were just really stuck) so on my own a night and this morning but nearlyt nap time for ds2 den ds1 home from school and dh up from bed. Had to bring ds1 to school this morning which u was drreading but successfully.got all 3 up and dressed and out to the car with ease wasn't as bad as I thought!!

I had to top Emily up with formula yesterday morning after 24hour feeding/latching session I didn't eve. Make it up to bedroom Saturday night I was in tears Sunday morning after only 1 he of sleep. My sister brought over a little bottle of apitnal just gave her 2oz and she was immediately content and happy out since!! I'm still waiting for milk but it's staeti g to come in. So she has we t from an absolute antichrist to a wee dream boat!!

Still I'm serious shock at how quickly it all happened. Drip started at 11.30 and I was told first cervix check at 2.30 at earliest. Was reading g my notes in hospital says 12.25 contractions strong but coping well. 12.50 Emma believes baby us coming. 12.50 contractions expulsive 13.00 head delivered quickly assistance requested and 13.01 baby girl delivered! So 11mins from me saying baby was coming/pushing!!

neither dh or midwife believes me!! Thankful it was so quick and all went so well no stitches almost no swelling pelvic floor intact etc...

Cannot wait to hear from hellojello and Becks!!

 

[emma4g63]

Wow bannana sounds fantastic xxx after all ur worries im glad went well xxx

 

[babyjan]

Glad all is well with you banana! It really amazes me how some can have babies with no stitches or issues down there lol! I'm still healing and tmi bloody constipated with stitches

For those with more than one kid how do you manage when home alone? Yesterday my 4 year old tried to pick up baby when I went to get him a drink from the kitchen. I returned to find my baby face down on the sofa! I just can't help but think what if?

Congratulations. So glad to see that you got your wish. Enjoy your little girl

 

[missbabes]

Still no news on my part. 8 days overdue and no sign of anything happening. Just happy that I'm not being asked by family members about it any more. They are quite right in saying that I don't need to be asked after this amount of time.
