Guest guest Posted March 1, 1999 Report Share Posted March 1, 1999 I can second this. I was almost 2 weeks late and only 2 cm and 20% effaced. They had me on pitocin for over 12 hours before I got to 75% effaced, but no more dilation. Then I had to break down and have my epidural, once I did that I was at 9 cm within 4 hours. I didn't want to be induced and I didn't want the epidural, but after 36 hours of labor I learned to compromise my " perfect " birth plan. Christi my 41 week appt Date: Monday, March 01, 1999 4:36 PM Well, I am still at 3 cm! Ugh, the baby's head is still high = (** He scheduled induction for Thursday at 7:00 Am!! Way too early..LOL. He said to eat a light breakfast since I will be on all liquids while in labor. So, I now know when I will have my baby. I did a NST and baby looked great!! I was awake all night b/c I was so excited to find out when I was getting induced but now for some reason I am really sad. I don't know why but I just can't shake it. You would think I would be happy knowing that thurday I will have my baby for sure. I think part of it is I have been 3cm since Jan, I am depressed that I haven't progressed on my own. If a miracle happens I might go before then but I doubt it. I feel bad that I have to be induced. With it was great!! He was early, my water broke, Ya they had to give me pitocin to help me along but at least my water and stuff broke on it's own then. Soooooo, thursday is the day. My mom keeps saying " I have this feeling induction isn't gonna work and you will end up in a section on Fri " . (BTW..Fri is also my 2 year anniversary). I have an overwheling fear of a section that I have had my whole pregnancy. I sure hope and pray I don't have to have one. I feel bad enough about being induced let along having a section. Oh well, that is where I am. ~Overdue Feb 21 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ New hobbies? New curiosities?
