Went in on Thursday for a scheduled induction at 7 am . Pit was started at 930 AM they were having trouble with computers and it got started late , which was fine with me because hubby had to take a test and wasn ' t even there yet , and wouldn ' t be there until later that afternoon . Didn ' t even start feeling my contractions until way later that afternoonevening . Wasn ' t really dilating much . Went in at 2 cm dilated and by afternoon was barely a 4 . He decided to just go ahead and break my water . And then things really took off . I was pretty against an epidural and decided to try IV meds first , and not even 15 minutes after he broke my water my contractions were pretty painful . Got some Stadol , which only lasted for about an hour . At that point , the contractions were so intense that I could hardly breathe through them and at I asked for the epidural . I ' m SO glad that I got it . Not long after that , I started puking . He came in and checked me and I was at a 6 . Gave me some Zofran and I felt much better . Came back hardly an hour later and I was a 9 12 and ready to push ! About 9 pushes and Leah was out , born at 950 PM .
