I had a doctor's appointment on Monday, November 7 with Dr. Vallery. She informed me that it was time! She didn't want me to go any further with my pregnancy!! I was going to meet my daughter this week! We were going to induce Thursday morning. After she explained what the procedure was and what I was to expect.
I was okay with everything until I got in the car and called Danny. I let him know that it was going to be this week and I just cried! THIS WAS REALLY HAPPENING!! I really was going to bring a new person into this world!!
We arrived at the hospital on Wednesday, November 9 around 9:00 PM. I was induced on Thursday morning around 7 AM. Dr. Vallery came in around 8 AM to check on my progress. After breaking my water, Dr. V informed me that my uterus was talked behind my pelvis. She said that she has seen women delivered with the same condition. Few, but she has seen it done! I was dilated to about 1.5 cm and 75% effaced.
Dr. V came back around 12:30 PM. She checked me again, my uterus has come out from behind my pelvis some and I was now dilated to 2 cm and 80% effaced. She removed one of the sensors that was on my stomach to detect my contractions and put me on one that would measure my contractions from inside. She said if they were strong enough, they would help with the dilation and help bring her down.
I had some GREAT contractions!! Mom, Dan, and I watched the monitor and I knew that I was at least dilate to a 4 or 5 cm with the strength of contractions that I was having! Boy was I WRONG!! I had only dilated to 2.5 cm! We could have waited to see if I was going to dilate any further, but who knew how long that was going to take!
After discussing it with Dr. Vallery, Dan and I decided we should go ahead and do a C-Section. When we made the decision to go ahead with it, we knew it would be a matter of minutes before we could meet our bundle of joy! Sure enough, we got into surgery 20 mins later and at 6:08 PM, Ella Faith made her grand entrance into the world!!
