Well, it seems this little guy is super comfortable. I'm 1cm, 50% effaced -3. I've been 1cm and 50% effaced for 3 weeks but today his head was actually HIGHER than the last 3 weeks! He's retreating! So I'm going in at 7pm for cervidil. Realistically, I probably won't actually have him until tomorrow. I'm 40+4 today, wife and I are so ready to meet our little guy!
9:30pm: Started Cervidil about an hour ago. It's going to be a looooong night!
9:30am: Cervidil got me to 2 from a "generous 1". I'm on Pitocin now and antibiotics for GBS. I'm having contractions about 5 minutes apart but not feeling them. Doc tried to break my water and couldn't. My cervix is tilted. She was literally laying across the bed on top of my legs. She. Just. Kept. Digging. When the nurses left they said it was too much. It made my blood pressure skyrocket and was very painful. She had one of the nurses pushing down on my belly because she couldn't reach my bag of waters. Ugh.
11:30am: That moment that you're at max Pitocin, having regular contractions and can't feel a thing. Yup. Wtf. Doc should be in to check me and attempt to break my water again shortly. Hopefully that will get things moving along.
1:45pm: I'm still at 2cm and 50% effaced. Doc tried to break my water again and couldn't. So tried for so long. It was so painful. Apparently my pubic bone is tilted forward making basically everything difficult. My contractions are on top of each other. I'm feeling them now but I can get though the pain. It's constant. I have a peanut between my legs. They said it's a little early to try that but it can't hurt. I'm completely maxed out on Pitocin. They mentioned stopping and starting over. I don't know how long I can do this. Another 6 hours of Pitocin??
