Sick to my stomach for my SIL currently laboring

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
My SIL is in labor with her 3rd child right now. She went to the hospital at 4pm with contractions 6 minutes apart. She's dialated 1 cm in 7 hours. She's got her epidural and they started pitocin right as I was saying bye. UGH I'm just sick to my stomach. I feel so sorry for her. The baby is at -2 and posterior, 4 cm, and 80% effaced. The doctor broker her water about 5 hours ago. I so hope the pitocin works for her. She has a good history with pitocin. I am so afraid she's going to have a c-section.

Of course this is like a relapse for me with my failed induction/c-section. All I can think about is how awful it was for me and how I don't want her to go through it. Then I got in a fight with my mom about my c-section. She thinks I wasnt sectioned soon enough and that why my daughter almost died. Yep all my fault mom. Oh god here come the tears!

Everything went fine. She pushed her out with 4 pushes and didn't tear. I swear that girl could schedule a csection and would push the baby out on the OR table.

That's great for her! As much as I hate the way many births are managed in this country, it's good to know that more often than not, it works out ok for mom and baby. I know many women who are quite happy with their epidural/pitocin births, though I would never wish for one myself. And I suppose at the end of the day that's what is really important - it is HER experience and she will have the memory for the rest of her life.
