[quote=Anonymous]OP here. The induction went well. I opted for the foley balloon which got me from 1-4cm in a few hours with minor not too painful contractions. I was able to do wireless monitoring which was great. Then I got pitocin and the level was slightly increased every 30m-1hr. I didn’t really feel the contractions I was having until a higher dosage at which time my water broke and it was very painful (docs said I was in active labor then) so I got the epidural. After it finally kicked in, I was feeling better. It took just a few hours to go from 4-10cm, then an hour or so of laboring down for baby to move to the lowest station. I was pushing for 15 min and then baby was born, 8lbs 15oz! Second degree tears but stitched up. It was less than 24 hours total from arrival at the hospital to delivery and the epidural was a must at the end but overall I’m very happy with the experience and think I may have avoided a C-section given baby’s size.[/quote]
