[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I did not make satisfactory progress on dilation, and c section was performed on day 3. It was almost 70 hours with me no food and stuck at 6 cm and in terrible pain. Baby girl was out 9 lbs 3 oz, a baby one. I am relieved now, but if I knew about this final outcome, I should have opted for c section at the beginning. Thank you everyone and wish good luck to everyone. [/quote]
This happened to me, too. They popped my water, and I had pitocin, and as soon as they turned it off, I stopped dialating.  Stopped at 5cm after 12 hours, and even the midwife said to just get a csection.  Baby was also 9lbs (I was over a week due).

IMO, the csection was the way to go because I am very petite, and I think the baby would've gotten stuck in the channel.

My second was a scheduled C due to above and I had gestation diabetes.  [/quote]

Same stats and issues. Barely progressed, very petite, over 9lb baby... I did wait it out and didn't get a c section. Doctors weren't concerned, but the nurses and our families were pretty nasty to us ("why put yourself through pain? Just do it already, we want to see the baby!"). Anyways, I'm a glutton for pain so I just dealt with the pain and no eating. After 48 hours they did turn off my pitocin so I could sleep and I got to eat. I felt pretty faint since pregnant women eat a lot. Baby came like 1.5 days later. LOL. And it was nearly the same for all 3 of my kids. For babies 2 and 3 I snuck in a huge bag of snacks.

First time was def the slowest. I think a csection is the right answer. I was so darn exhausted after my births that I really had trouble caring for the baby, especially in the hospital (yay! no nursery!). [/quote]
