Trying to get me ready for my epiduralWe had our 38th week doctors visit on Wednesday and with my blood pressure still high and my protein levels up the doctor decided to send me over to the hospital to be monitored over night then induced early Thursday morning.
We spent the rest of Wednesday just relaxing and filling out all the paperwork. At 4am they began the induction. Right away my contractions were in a steady pattern, but still wasn't feeling anything. The doctor got to the hospital about 8am and broke my water about 8:30. I began to really feel the contractions right away and they were so close. They began to work at getting me an epidural from the moment they broke my water. Because of my blood pressure issues I had to have so much iv fluid before they could begin so it was a race against the clock. They finished my epidural a little after 9am. I had so much pressure that when the nurse checked me I was already at 10cm. I had gone from 5cm to 10cm in a half hour. They told me not to push and called the doctor back to the hospital. 3 pushes later Cadence was here.
