Sophia`s birthstory
So I checked into the hospital on Monday, Sept. 10th at 7:00 PM. My midwife wanted to start an induction because I had GD and was starting to feel really lousy. We went thru one night (12 hours) of using cervidil and started the pitocin. After having contractions from 9 AM until 4 PM my midwife decided to stop the induction and start over! She gave me the option of trying again or having a c-section. I decided to try one more time...Once again, the second night, I was administered the cervidil and we started the pitocin again in the morning...after having contractions again from 9 AM until 4 PM, I was still only dialated to a 3 and baby still hadn`t engaged into my pelvis. At that point we made the decision to have a c-section. Within an hour I was being wheeled into the OR. 50 minutes later, here come the most precious baby I`ve ever seen! Her little head is perfectly round without any bumps or bruises. I spent 5 days in the hospital and am happy to report we are now home enjoying our bundle of joy!
