Its
comforting to know im not the only one, I was set to be induced with my fifth child on jan 1, went to hospital at 5 am, put on pittosin at 6, dialed slowly, and had painful contractions, Dr
broke my water at 11, contractions even more painful, got the epidural at 12, labor did not progress, was dialated 3 cm all day, @ 8 pm,, Dr took me off pittosin for an hour to see if I would progress if we started
over again, at 9 they hooked me up again, all night and just progressed to a 4, that next morning, still nothing, finally Dr said we need to do a c section, since my water was
broken earlier the previous day, he was worried about infection, finally went to operating rm, it was so cold, I was shaking and crying, I was so scared, btw my previous 4 children were vaginal births, I felt so guilty, thinking it was my fault my labor did nt progress.Finally I had her, when the Dr held her up for me to see, I started bawling, she was perfect, it was very emotional, she weighed 6 lb 4oz and 18in, Im very proud of her, and myself

over.
