Induction for my big baby boy 🤍

Gave birth today to our gorgeous boy. Growth scan at 36+5 estimated 9lbs, he was born today 37+3 at 9lbs1! So they can be accurate too. I had a successful and non problematic balloon induction which happened quickly at 37+1 weeks. Had it removed the day after, and my waters broke by the midwives at 37+3 at 2am when I got a bed in delivery suite. I was started on the pitocin drip at 03.30 and was put to the max dose by 6.30am. I initially Contracted to 5cm by 11am however by 5.30pm I hadn’t dilated any more after a couple checks. I was offered to keep going and seeing or a c section. I was shattered by this point having not slept for 48 hours. And the pitocin on full dose contractions are no joke!! Wow they are intense and painful. C section started at 5.55pm and baby was born at 6.03 pm ❤️ An out come I expected but hoped not for, but I would say it was a positive birth and the team were so so kind and patient centred. Good luck to everyone I hope your births will be kind to you 🤍
