I went in for an ultrasound on Dec. 24th just expecting them to say that everything looks fine and enjoy the holiday. Well, not quite. The doctor came in and said, "What if I told you I'd like you to go to the hospital now to have this baby?" "Uh...what, but I want to catch the after Christmas sales." Yeah, that excuse didn't fly. Apparently, the level of amniotic fluid was a bit low, so they did not want to take any chances and said that it is safer if the baby is induced now, rather than waiting. So...off we went.
I received a dose of cervadil at 6pm on the 24th and they started the pitocin at 7am the next day and she was born at 3:30 pm. I truly had an incredible and enjoyable birthing experience. I owe that to the epidural, the nurse midwives and Jason and my sister. I am now a firm believer in midwives. They were exceptional and helped make this experience incredibly memorable and enjoyable.
Feeling good right before starting the pushing marathon.
