Michael and I decided to induce labor since, as of her due date, I had not started to dilate. We had an appointment to be at Saint Elizabeth hospital at 7:30 pm on Monday, March 25th. On our way to the hospital, they called and asked if we could go to dinner and come in a bit later, as they had a rush of unscheduled deliveries. Michael, my mom, sister, father-in-law and I decided to eat at Olive Garden. We had a great time, and Michael and I got a free dessert out of the deal :) Toward the end of dinner, the hospital called and said we could come in at 9:30.
We got to the hospital and filled out the appropriate paperwork. At 10:30, they gave me Cervadill which strarts contractions and softens the cervix. At 6 am on Tuesday, I hadn't dilated yet and they began the Pitocin. Shortly after getting the medicine, I dilated to 1 cm and they broke my water at 12:30 pm. From there, nothing else happened. All day, they upped my Pitocin, by I failed to progress pass a 1 because I have a [insert medical term I can't remember] on my cervix. By 3:30 am on Wednesday morning, the nurse and Dr. Bowers suggested we do a C-section because the baby was showing stress. By 4 am, I was being prepped for the C-section, and our little angel was born at 4:27 am.
She is absolutely beautiful <3
