So after an amazing nights sleep( drugs are good!) the MW checked me this morning and my cervix finally shifted forward and I'm almost 3cm dilated. Currently back on pitocin to move the process along and than later today they'll break my water and send my sorry tail into labor!
Can I get an AMEN?! Woo hoo!!! Such a great update to wake up to. You got this lady. You're going to do great. I can't wait to hear that peanut is here
Oh!!!! @littlechivette so happy things are moving and you don't have to come back a week later!! This gives me all the feels especially since iam going in Monday to be induced! I couldn't imagine the disappointment of having to go back!! So so happy for you! And I can't wait for your birth story and to see your little babe!!!

Have you been induced before? And do you know what medicine they are starting with?
I was induced with DD. They started with pitocin because I was already effaced and dilated at a four. I know it depends how favorable your cervix is. If you are dilated and effaced at all they normally start with pitocin but if your not I know there are those other medicines and that bulb thingie that they do to get your cervix moving. With DD it was very quick after they broke my water. Like I went from a five to a ten in less than an hour. But I think that's because I couldn't have the epidural. Which was agony but if am going to try to go without again because it was A) faster and B) I was able to walk around immediately after birth and left the hospital the very next morning to go be with DD at the nicu in another hospital. With DS I had an epidural and couldn't walk for a day and had a catheter. On Monday since my cervix is already 100% effaced and I am a slim five they will just start a little pitocin then break my water . I am hoping for a fast labor just like last time.
@littlechivette let us know what your MW says after she checks you! And hopefully breaking your water will speed things up and give you some awesome contractions!! Lol that sounds strange to say but you need them puppies to do what they are meant to do!!
@littlechivette oh good!! That's a good sign that your water broke on it's own! Let's get this party started!! Will be thinking of you and praying that baby is in your arms soon!!
It was pee! And than more once the cath was in. I can't feel anything from chest down.
Oh no!!!! Well at least you have a cath now! Sometimes I wish my daughters were big enough for me! We have thousands of them and I have totally thought of just trying one out one night so I wouldn't have to get up to pee. Lol. Maybe this should be in FFFC. Lol.
@littlechivette so sorry you have to have a cs but at least you will have your LO one soon! I will be praying for you and your LO! You will do great and I can't wait to hear your birth story and see your beautiful babe !!

Sorry to hear it was a long process girl! I had a similar situation yesterday with my little guy. You're doing great, hang in there and I hope you're snuggling your LO soon!
