I came in at 10pm eastern time last night (6/21) to start my induction. Got settled in my room, drew labs, got my IV, got on the monitors, and all that jazz. I was checked by a very awkward resident and was starting at 1cm, 50% effaced, and -3. (5 days ago, by OB said I was 60% effaced and -2. Since these sorts of things generally don't go backwards, it goes to show how subjective these estimates are).
I got cytotec placed at 12:30am. Have tried to sleep, but this bed is so uncomfortable, the BP cuff goes off every 30 min, I keep needing to pee, and I'm having somewhat painful (if not super frequent) contractions. I dozed a little bit but not much. Of course, DH is sound asleep.
Supposedly the resident is coming back around 4:30am to see if the cytotec has done anything.
Update: she's here! Baby girl arrived at 12:59am on 6/22. Birth story to come. We are exhausted but doing well.

Can't wait!
