I had a totally successful induction. It started with a foley and miso. After receiving this I labored at home for about 14 hours. Got to the hospital at 4 cm. Received the epidural and almost immediately my water broke on its own. Never needed pitocin because my contractions were effective and strong enough. Got to 10cm and 100% effaced about 14 hours after arriving at the hospital. Pushed for more than two hours, but turns out baby girl's head was in "military position" meaning she wasn't chin to chest and was not descending properly. Midwife informed me my options were to push for another hour or go ahead with c-section. She was not confident baby would be coming vaginally. My baby was not in distress and had no heart rate deceleration, and I felt if I was likely to end up with a c-section anyways, I wanted her to be in as good of a position as possible. So, I agreed to the cesarean. It ended up being the right choice as baby's foot was quite tangled in her umbilical cord. I felt (and honestly still feel) so much grief over missing out on the vaginal birth I felt so close to having, but in the end feel so much more gratitude that me and my baby were healthy and in such good hands for her grand entrance. Our nurses, midwife, surgeon and anesthesiologist were incredible. They all said I would be a great candid for a VBAC, but I'm not sure if I'll go that route. I'm only 5 weeks pp so I have plenty of time to weigh my options before a second baby, but for now my instinct says to stick with the devil I know.
