He’s here!

Whew! So this is a long birthing story lol. I was induced at 39 weeks and 3 days. It was elective due to personal and family reasons. Tuesday I went in and started the process, I started with a cervidle to open my cervix more. That was in for 12 hrs. Then I dilated a bit so we did the foley bulb for another 12 hours. It never fell out and set me at a whole 4 cm. We then started the pitocin. I can’t even begin to say how bad those contractions are but MY GOD. After not being able to take it, I got the epidural and sat with that from 5pm-8 am. I had another cervix check and after all that I was still at 4cm. Another doctor whom was on the floor had did the cervix check and informed me that for how long I’ve been going at it, and all the resources that have been exhausted, I should have been had baby boy. When he checked me, not only was my cervix hard but high and baby was only at -1, after 3 days! It was determined that fly birthing canal was just too small, he wasn’t going to descend and even if he did, it would be another 2-3 maybe even 4 days. I was over it, his heart rate had already dipped 4xs the night before and I just wanted him stress free and out. I was not at all expecting a c-section but ended up getting one and I had to say, it wasn’t that bad at all. When you have a team who cares about you, takes care of you, and listens to your concerns, it makes every process so much easier. Ultimately I went with it, my mom was with me, and it was quick and easy. Baby boy made his debut 6-8, 2 days before his due date, at 11am on the dot. Healthy as ever, if I could do it all again, I would. He’s so handsome ugh, I’m marveled 🥲💙

@Stacey I didn’t end up pushing. Yesterday after a cervix check it was determined he couldn’t descend because of my small pelvis. So I went into OR for the c-section.

Congratulations!❤️
