So discouraged!!!!! I started induction at noon today they put the pill in my cervix to get me to thin out. I went from 50% effaced to 70% and then started pitocin and i was on that and contracting every 2-3 mins, didnt change maybe 1 cm max. (So I went from a 2-3cm to a 3.5 cm) it's starting to stress me out because they are threatening to send me home and try again in a few days and it took alot of effort to get babysitters together and my husband took today off (vacation pay) all for nothing if they send me home. They took me off of pitocin for now and tried the pill to thin me out again. Now in 2.5 hours they will decide to start the pitocin again or the pill one more time. I just want to cry. This baby is not cooperating
sometimes if youre stressed you won't progress. if you have a break from monitoring maybe you can manage a warm bath or shower. massage if you can handle it. try to relax, babies arent on our schedules yet. good luck!
Awww. I’m sorry momma. I’m in the same situation. I have been 3.5cm for more than 5 days. I was in the hospital last night for 6 hours. Contractions were every 5-6 minutes. I was sent home because I was still at 3.5cm. I was not given an iv or any medication. The OB said that my body was doing what it is suppose to do and that they don’t want to induce me. I walked 4 miles this morning and my contractions are now every 7-8 minutes.... I give up... this child is not cooperating. My husband took 2 days off and nothing... I hope they keep you and your labor progresses. Good luck momma!
My contractions are every like 2-3 mins still even without the pitocin than god
Awe can you walk. I will explain to them as well. That your husband used a vacation and you had to look for sitters !!
Stay positive baby will be here before you kno it.
They are stupid, will only let me walk around for a hour. And if I'm on the i.v. they wont let me walk around at all
@savvysmom, 😿 do they not understand your 39 weeks. Hopefully you dialate. Maybe the baby isn’t ready.
It’s frustrating but there’s only so much they can do. They can’t force you to dilate. If your water hasn’t broken and there’s no danger to the baby to wait then just go home and try to pass the time.
