Cervidil that was placed last night was placed wrongly so did nothing to my cervix when it was checked this morning. They started me on cytotec this morning and gave me a second dose around four pm. They checked me at 7 and I had gone from 1cm to 1.5cm. So they placed a cooks catheter and started me on pitocen. The cooks catheter is set to fall out at 4cm. After having intense contractions for a few hours, the catheter fell out, and pitocen was increased. I'm going to be checked again in about 20 minutes, so hoping for some progress. Since it was not a real dilation there is a small possibility that it closes back, but I'm not going to let that worry me yet. We are only a few hours away from being in the hospital for 48 hours.
I'm going to hospital tonight at 10 to get an induction, baby *should* be born tomorrow! At today's appointment I was already 4cm dilated so I have indeed been in slow pre-labour or whatever for the past week. (Had lots of cramps!). Baby's cord is around his neck though and the blood flow ultrasounds show that he is distressed. So I'm not going to wait to go into labour say at 1am on a random morning and then my dr, pediatrician etc are fast asleep and might take an hour to get to me... now that we know there is a medical issue and my body has already started to labour, we've made the decision. He is lying in a combination of back-to-back and transverse... but I'm first going to attempt VB. However if he gets any more stressed I have no problem getting a c-section and having my miracle born alive. It's 6 pm in RSA now, I'm going to hospital at 10 pm
