    @Mrs.KMM: I just went through this. You can do this! It will be so worth it in the end. I was finally discharged today at 2pm, as it was the first time they got my BP under control. I walked in at 0cm dialated, and had baby girl vaginally on day 3. Being stuck in the bed is the worst. If you have any questions let me know! I promise you can do this!!

    @dc yoga bee: Did you have the magnesium too? I am not looking forward to being stuck in bed and unable to eat (I love me some food and hate feeling hungry). They're going to be putting a urine catheter in soon (want to track urine output with the mag drip) so I don't even get to get up to pee!

    Glad you and your little girl have gotten to finally head home!

    @Mrs.KMM: She broke my waters before they ended up doing magnesium. But, I was stuck in the bed the three days before because even though I wasn't anxious or even doing anything, my blood pressure was steadily increasing up to 160 something over 90 at one point. Rest, rest, rest! That's the one thing you can do in the bed that will help you the most! You'll need the energy when it's time to push. It took me 45 min to push, and I was kinda getting tired, but she said I wouldn't be able to take as many breaks due to the blood pressure. Are you getting an epidural? I got the epidural 15 minutes before the catheter, and didn't feel a thing. But, it was amazing to no longer feel the urge to pee.
    I asked them could I take a catheter home lol.

    @dc yoga bee: I really don't want an epidural. So so far - no. They've inserted the catheter which for now feels really weird (I feel like I'm about to pee myself) but they said that sensation goes away once your body gets used to it.

    They inserted a foley bulb around 11:30 tonight and said I should be at 4-5 cm at whatever point that comes out. I'm having contractions (although I can't feel them at this point).

    The foley bulb came out this morning and I was measuring 4cm and 70-80% effaced. They decided to start me on Pit (at a 2) and continue to ramp it up. I was getting good, consistent contractions but when they checked me again this afternoon, I'd made no visible progress.

    They decided to stop the Pit and do another round of Cytotec. The 4 hours for that ends really soon so hopefully we'll be able to see some changes!

    After two long days of labor and a c-section, Elizabeth "Ellie" Grace entered the world this morning (May 28) at 5:37am! She weighs 6 lbs 10 oz and is 19 inches long.



    They switched me back to Pit after the second dose of Cytotec and manually broke my waters. I spent many hours with consistent strong contractions again but they still didn't do a thing to progress me beyond 4cm. They tried giving me an epidural too to see if that would help but no avail. We ended up needing to go the c-section route for failed induction.

    Apparently my body just wasn't ready to give birth yet but the scary high BPs gave us no choice. Every aspect of my birth plan got thrown out the window during the 42 hour process but it was what was needed to keep baby Ellie and me safe and healthy. Now it is time for snuggles and rest!

    @Mrs.KMM: Congrats!!!!!! It's okay that it didn't go to plan, because you still have a beautiful daughter in your arms right now! The most important part is that you and Ellie are safe!

    Congratulations mama! Most important thing is that you and baby girl are healthy! Sorry you didn't get the labor and delivery you wanted though.

    @MamaB: and @Meltini: and @MrsBrewer: I'm honestly totally okay that nothing went to plan. It is just so awesome to be able to hold her in my arms that I don't care what bumps (or more like pot holes!) it took to get here!

    @Mrs.KMM: it's a pretty awesome feeling, isn't it?! I can't wait to hold this little one!

    I decided to go ahead with the induction tomorrow at 7am. A sweet L&D nurse called today to finish my registration and told me that if contractions keep me up again like last night, I should just call my OB and come in during the night rather than 7am. So we'll see. I'm nervous about laboring while feeling so sick, but she said she didn't think it would cause any difficulty and that it was probably better for me to get the baby out so they could give me heavier duty meds. I'm tired of debating it, so I think I'm just going to go for it given my husband's situation and everything else.

    @78h2o: Good!! I'm glad you feel better about the induction! I bet you will feel like a new person once you are able to kick this sickness, plus you will have a little one in your arms!!! Good luck!!

    @78h2o: yay! Glad you're feeling better about the decision. It seems like there are a lot of factors that will make this plan work best for your family.
