Getting Induced

It’s finally the day I’m getting induced!!! I’m freaking scared!  I don’t know what is going to happen or how I am going to feel.  It was a Saturday 9:00 am I went in not being dilated or my water broken.  Long story short and I apologize in advance if I do not make sense. I was there a full day it was soon going to be night time and I was still not even dilated.  The medicine had kicked in to start the contractions and the water balloon method had commenced supposably it’s to help you dilate.  It was intense!!!  It was so painful because you go from not feeling anything to suddenly feeling so much cramping! Let me tell you I can handle a little pain but that type of pain was so unbearable.  The balloon was inside for about 12 hours, and I just said nope TAKE IT OUT!!! It is Sunday now and I am finally barely 3 cm dilated. I did everything I could. I walked up and down the hall for hours, I even bounced on the dam yoga ball and still nothing.  The pain was so intense, and they had already given me all the pain medicine they could I wasn’t allowed anything else until I can get the epidural.  I had gone in saying nope I didn’t want any sort of pain medicine; I didn’t want the epidural but yea right! I had it all.  Finally, I was 6 cm and I ended up getting the epidural and let me tell you I felt a huge relief all the pain went away.  I couldn’t get up or walk after that but as long as the baby was safe, and I wasn’t feeling any pain It was okay with me.  It was 7:00 pm and nothing seemed to happen. I had already gotten my water broken two hours ago and still nothing.  With how things were going I had already been taken off the contraction medicine and was given the C section talk.  I cried and mentally prepared myself to go through with it and then all of a sudden, the nurses tell me that my Dr. would like me put me back on the contraction medicine for 10 minutes.  I was angry at this point my body and the baby were both going downhill what was the purpose of only ”10 minutes” it was going to do nothing!  It was the first time in my life I had put my foot down the way I did. I rejected treatment, I said no I did not want to.  Something in my gut said no don’t keep going.  If I would have kept going God knows what would of happen and the fact of knowing I would be in labor 3 days oh no no no.  They finally started preparing me to go into surgery.  I was so scared but having my fiancé by my side really helped.  So much went in to getting prepped for surgery but I am very thankful for the team that worked on me that day you could really tell they all loved what they did.  Aside from the tugging you still feel it was definitely an experience I will never forget.  I am just beyond thankful my fiancé was allowed to be there and hold my hand through it all.  Before you knew it the time had come it was time HE WAS FINALLY HERE!!!
