well, to start i was wrongly induced by an impatient doctor. he basically told me " your baby isnt growing as we expect him to, it is called "IUGR" (intrauterine growth restriction) you can either wait to go into labour yourself or let me induce you, but i am leaving on vacation and you may not have me to deliver your son, it would be whoever was available". i was 17, and that scared me. so of course i decided to let him induce me. the short of it is i got there about 4 am for my induction (bear in mind the "average" first labour length is about 12 hours...before his dinner time!) and was started on pitocin. that made most of my birth plan useless, because it had been stated i didnt want any iv, freedom to move, etc. even though i asked not to be offered medications, nurses still came in all the time offering to "take the edge off" with any little sound i would make. finally, after hours and hours of intense, close together and very painful violent contractions, i accepted their "help". this made me sleepy and nauseaous, so they gave me anti nausea meds which made me even more tired. once the drugs began to wear off, it hurt even worse than before, they began offering an epidural. which i said no to. at first. i wanted to walk around, they told me "oh you need to be continuously monitered, and the baby, too. youve got all these cords, and need to stay in bed" i asked about a remote telemetry unit which can do the same thing as all the cord stuff, except gives movement. shocked that i knew about this device, my ob bent and said "well, you know your stuff, i will have a nurse hook you up". he did not offer this to me, even though he knew i wanted to move around and my pain was being intensified by being bed ridden. they wouldnt let me bathe though, which is allll i wanted at that point!!! i went back to lay down about an hour or so later, and the contractions were coming on strong and hard, i was moaning loudly. offers of epi again, again refused. my ob waltzes in, says i am not "progressing" fast enough (this was around 6 pm, and i was 6 cm dialated!) and while i am telling him "nonono dont do that, i dont want you to!" he breaks my water, and walks out of the room, leaving me, my bed and clothes and floor soaking wet, telling a nurse to "go in and clean up her mess". this was in front of my mother, mil and dh. after that, things continued to intensify. within an hour, i was 9 cm dialated, saying i need to push. they kept telling me nonono and asking about an epi. i finally said "yes!! give it to me after this contraction" to which they replied " there isnt any time between em, its now or never" so they did it right then, while i was having screaming piggyback contractions. my baby's heartrate was slowing down, of course due to the too-strong pitocin induced contractions and the drugs, so they started yelling "PUSH" at me, even though i no longer felt the urge to do so. they yanked my knees up and kept yelling, until i just pushed though i didnt feel like it, within a few minutes it felt (more like 45 to an hour i think?) Orion was born, thank god no episotomy!!! i know this isnt always how it is, but as an aspiring midwife and current doula, i have done much studying and research to know it is not a rare occurance. i really hope i did not scare you! i can say i have a healthy happy 5 year old sun out of the experiance, and this knowledge gave me the power to choose a midwife in a birthing center this time around! btw, orion did not have this "IUGR" that my ob claimed, he was 6lb7oz, which is about the same size as all the babies in my family, we are small womin and grow small babies. the ob had said my sun was around "5 pounds and failing to grow" by his ultrasound machine. so much for that noise. this is called "iatrogenic prematurity" when it causes babies to be born too early due to miscalculated due dates and wrong ultrasound measurements, another problem with scheduled c-sections and inductions by anxious ob's. if you have any questions, feel free to ask, and also, if you need some reassurance or help on how to maintain your power in a hospital birth setting, feel free to drop a line, also!

NOT YET! i told them i wanted it back by this weekend so if i dont recieve it today, im gonna start making the phone calls myself instead of letting my fiance do it. hes just being too nice and thats aparently not getting the job done! so im gonna have to go into bitch mode which i really didnt want to do but hey...its my stuff and i wanna see it before my son gets here atleast! oh they have completely ruined their chances of getting first dibs on pictures or anything else. my mother is soooo upset that she hasnt seen it yet and shes the one that forked over the $100 for the session- his parents who supposedly have all the money only paid $75. jerks. lol. u got me started again lol!! thanks for asking though.

I am really nervous to have a c-section. He told me to think about it because in cases like mine, women have decided to have a natural childbirth and then only dialate to a 6 and they end up having a c-section anyway... I am going to see if he will just induce me and give me a chance. I know smaller women that have had bigger babies so I think I can do it. I know it's going to hurt and I will be in pain but I really don't want to have a surgery like that...

Yes We really are on our way this is so exciting that I can go through this Journey with all you expecting mommy's I hope you have a wonderful blessed pregnancy
