***11:05am 30Sep*** Rileigh Janelle Maria is here!!!!
I go in for 37 week induction (due to preeclampsia) this afternoon! I check in at 4pm and hopefully within 24 hours get to meet Miss Rileigh Janelle Maria!!! We are hoping to avoid C-section, but know it is a possibility due to large baby (they are saying 9lb!!! But we know their accuracy is within a pound... So we'll see) and I also have partially deviate cervix. Nervous and scared and excited!!! Will post updates as able

So they did Cervidil last night at 5pm, took out 5am this morning, don't know if it worked or not, def felt strong contractions, but no one has checked this morning so I just dont know. They have me hooked up to IV and will start Pitocin shortly!
Dr checked, still same dilated. Baby has move from station -3 to -2. We are hoping to get dilated!!!
Thank-you for all the good lucks!!! @pregnantELF Augh!!!! That is how I was yesterday!!! Hope yours goes fast and mine picks up speed!!!
***1:02pm*** Pitocin so far no effect on me except that I am having regular contractions 1-2 min apart. Cervix is closed and long except that 1 cm. They wanted to break my water if it were above 2, but stuck right now. still looking at real possibility of starting over again. The big joke right now between all of Rileigh's activity and taking her sweet time is she is packing... I looked at my hubby and said, "... I'm taking ALL this amnionic fluid with me!!!"
So doctor came in, not my regular, she is off today, and checked me again. What my regular OB said was correct and I am 1cm dilated (still) 50% effaced (which OS a big step up!) Anterior, and at station -3. After that, had to use restroom and bam, lost my mucous plug (as my little sister would say, "EW!", but in all it's glory). The doctor came in after that and wants to talk with my perinatolhust who recommended induce at 37 weeks to see if still necessary as my bp has been awesome since admitted back in hospital here and I've been off bp meds for two days now. That upset me because I'm at 37.5 weeks and it seems like by the time I have her something will go wrong. My np is so good here bc I can't do anything. I walk up and down stairs it spikes, laundry, spikes. Anything- spikes. But yeah, in hospital laying on left side all day, go figure, it is low. I still can not barely use my arms bc of the swelling and numbness from the preeclampsia and my legs are jacked and can't wear shoes... I'm scared they are going to tell me to wait it out!!! He said he would give it to today to see progression, and is considering Cervidil repeat tonight and start Pitocin again in morning but after that they don't want to do another day. He said he would rather not do C-section either but as my regular doctor is on tomorrow, will differ to her, bit in mean time is going to consult with my perinatalogist in the meantime

Rileigh Janelle Maria is here!!!!
So, I was not dilating as of yesterday morning so the doctor recommended a folly bulb, basically two ballons filled w 40ccs of sterile water one on top of cervix one at bottom, in hopes of making dialation happen. Good Lord that sucked and even worse, did nothing to help (basically I was told this was the first tome they saw no dialation using this method). I was in so much pain!!! We decided to go C-section. I couldn't stop shaking or crying. My hubby was with me the Whole time during C-section and distracted me and was wonderful, my rock. Rileigh didn't want to come out, so they had to all but jump up and down on my ribs, but the epidural was quality and it didn't seem like a big deal. They finally were able to pull her out and she didn't really cry like you normally hear, she was more like cooing and big breathes. She got in a few good "waaas" and they said she was all 9s & 10s and hubby got pictures and she looked huge but she was 7lbs, 14ozs and 20.75in so she wasn't that big. Oh my goodness though she is beautiful. I'm going to get a pic of her up somehow!!!! I was able to breast feed her within the blue and am on a hospital where she stays with us in our room. She has pooped 4x! Turns out I am allergic to the pain meds, so I am itching all over, but bfing well. First time I thought she had it pretty good, but then she really took on second try and she does not joke around!!! I'm stuck in hospital until Sunday bc of c-section. The incision only hurts when I move, which is worth it bc I'm moving only to pick her up and take care of her. C-section scared me a lot, but had a great doctor and support so if I can suggest to anyone getting a C-section, a doctor you trust is half of it, and the other half is someone supportive to reassure and help you through. Also, don't look around. The vacuuming sound us blood and inevitably it us being auctioned into a large clear bucket and you will look over and get that oh crap realization that is is your blood and start shaking and living it all over again... It doesn't pay to be curious in an OR!!!
