So I was induced with my first.. from starting the IV to his appearance int he world, it was less than 5 hrs... with this one.. not so much...
I got started at 630am on 7-24.. baby's heartbeat was great... I slowly started to dialate.. felt great.. worked through contractions until about 4-5 cm... got the epidural... by 1 I felt heavy pressure asked the nurse to take a look earlier than expected and I was 10cm with a butt and testies in plain view- apparently he had turned breech part way through the week. SOOOOOOOO... off to an emergency c-section I went.. at 158 he was delivered and dh followed him and wouldn't leave his side. I remained in the OR for another 2 hrs because during the incision, he cut my bladder by accident. So, he had that plus the regular to fix. I wanted my baby so bad but they wouldn't bring him until about 4pm and I couldn't tell DH because he was with him. So here I was in a room all alone and in severe pain.. finally he gets in and I'm able to put him to the breast. He nurses like a champ even though we have a bad latch that we are working on with a consultant. Anyway, I'm still in severe pain with no other updates.. he was 7lbs 11oz and 20 in long.. we are working on a name and I hope to never have another c-section!
