Spent all day at the ER on 10/10 due to what I now know are multiple kidney stones. I was on pain meds every two hours and lots of fluids, still could not pass the stones and they could not keep my pain under control. ER doc called my midwife and she had them transfer me over to labor and delivery to kick off my induction a day early. Foley catheter was placed and I was told it would dilate me to 3 cm by morning. I was still unable to keep foods down, still pretty sick, but I was able to shower.
At midnight they started me on Pit and said they would start upping it at 7 am. Woke around 7, midwife came in and removed the bulb. She said I was 4 cm and 50% yayy! She also proceeded to break my water which ...kicked my contractions up big time. 30 mins later I was 5 cm and 70%, at that point I was begging for the Epi! Got my Epi shortly after and I felt pretty awesome! I was nervous about the Epi cause of my back issues but it did not hurt at all and the meds kicked in quickly.
An hour later I started feeling pressure. Nurse checked me and I was 9 cm! She called my midwife who was 20 mins away, by the time she showed up I was fully dilated and ready to go. 2 pushes later Khloe was born!!!! I swear this kid could have crawled out herself lol.
She loves the boobie lol, and loves to be held. Makes it difficult to get any sleep lol, that and nurses in here constantly needing vitals on us! We're looking to be discharged on Saturday. I have to see a Urologist in 2 weeks to get these stones blasted. Hopefully they don't bother me again tho!!!View Thread

My first labor was 23 hours, second was 6 hours...so maybe third will be 4 lol!View Thread
My M/W changed my induction to Thursday night now, because I was only 1 cm dilated today. So she wants to insert the Foley catheter in! I'm not to keen on that so I'm still hoping I make some progress before then so she can just start the Pit instead!View Thread

This is my last weekly post, induction is set for Friday
!!!38w4d
w/g: 23 lbs
s/c: Lots of pre-labor still! Been having a lot of contractions on and off. Nothing consistent though but I did have a few painful ones last night. Hope to have this little girl before my induction on Friday!
Other: Had my growth u/s last Thu and they had Khloe at 7lbs 2 oz (plus or minus)! So at this point she would still be my smallest baby! Tomorrow is my final M/W appt and NST. She will be doing a final cervix check to determine what time to come in for my induction. Still need to sterilize the pump pieces and wash some bottles. Spent the whole weekend cleaning the house, laundry and organizing a ton of things. Just waiting for my swaddle blankets to ship then I will have everything!
Next d/a:
10/9: M/W/NST
10/12: Induction
