Night 2 in the hospital, still no baby. Last night I got quite a bit of sleep as checks were only every 4 hours and I was free of monitors. Tonight I'm on a low dose of pitocin to try to ripen my cervix as we have had no change in 2 days, so I am fighting a high blood sugar due to the stupid glucose drip and can't get comfortable hooked up to the monitors, plus checks are every 2 hours instead of 4. I got 3 or 4 hours asleep but my back is killing me and my husband is out cold so I can't ask him to help loosen it up. I just want to cry...
I came dilated to 3, got almost to a 4 the first day, then was given a foley overnight when nothing really progressed (still not sure why as a foley only dilated you to a 3 or 4). Was a full 4 today and felt like I was getting decent contractions but even on the full dose of pit, they would die down anytime I got up and walked around. The plan is to break my water when the OB gets here in the morning but I think baby is way to high and the monitors are making that worse because she keeps pushing up and away from them.
I'm at the hospital being induced right now, and they started me on a pill meant for stomach ulcers but they put it in my vagina to help soften and open my cervix. I started pitocin at 3am today and my water just broke at 5
Oh and I was having near constant regular contractions coming on, but I'm positive they were BH because they weren't more than uncomfortable but my OB was positive I was going to progress fast. I'm really starting to distrust her advice as my whole pregnancy has progressed contrary to what she has predicted lol (to be fair I have some unusual issues but an otherwise perfectly healthy pregnancy and baby according to the huge amount of testing I had to have)
