tonight's the night! *update*

edited October 2016 in Pregnancy and Babies
we go in at 1am to start our induction. both of them are head down, so i'm hoping for a vaginal birth for both. i can't believe it's here already. i will let you all know when the boys get here. thank you all again for your support during this journey.

Update: I am 52 hours into induction. I was 1cm dilated when I came in. Then had two doses of cervidil. That didn't do much, just softened me a bit more. My cervix is behind Baby A's head. It's very painful to be checked. I then had a foley catheter put in my cervix to dilate me and started pitocin. It got me to 3cm then came out on its own, which was awesome. It was quite uncomfortable. Pitocin was up to 26ml/hr. I barely felt it and there were barely any contractions. They took me off to reset my receptors. Since my uterus is so stretched, I'm not reacting like I should. At this time, it's at 16ml. Still just mild period cramp pain. I don't know what the next step is. I'll talk to the dr soon. Thanks for the love!

    My friend just went through this exact same thing. They ended up doing a c-section. My wife also had a c-section, and it wasn't a big deal. Hopefully they figure out a course of action soon so you can hold your boys.

    gosh I hope you didnt get a section. maybe they need more time... and if you never had children your body needs the time too. making it dilate before ready can cause future issues.

    hoping all is well and they just backed off for a week. twins are best staying in there as long as they can unless there are severe intrauterine growth issues. I have been to 3 sets of twin births myself. all born at home.
