inducing labor round 1

[mnreefman]

well just got back from the hospital tonight. jen is ungoing the ol gel on the cervex. tonight it was unsucsessful so far and they sent us home.. hopefull though sometime tonight it will kick in and help peed up the process.. if not we go back for round 2 tommarow. if that doesnt work, thursday they will do the ol potasin (sp) and get thoes contractions going.. however they have said there is a better than avg chance of a c section. either way, by the end of this weekend ill be a father... SCARY THOUGHT!!!

i feel bad for my fiancee, she wants this over with sooo bad. and there isnt a whole hell of alot i personally can do except be there for her. but were excited knowing that this will happen this week!

anyways, just wanted to let yall know...

Good luck Clint, and early congrats to you both! From someone that had to have an emergency C-Section, I hope things go smoothly for you both. Is the induction health related? Tell her I said to hang in there!!!

 

[mnreefman]

nikki, yes it is.. she has the ol gestational diabetes... i dont know how she does it having to pirck her fingers like 6 times day and administering shot 5 times... i know she has to.. but i couldnt do it

Congrats Clint!! My sympathy goes out to the mom-to-be!! It will soon be over and the pain is well worth it!

The hospital made me get up and walk around to stimulate my contractions...it worked well... I almost gave birth in the room! LOL~

Good luck Dude... been thru a couple myself.....Sometimes it goes real fast... sometimes is seems like it lasts for days... oh wait, sometimes it does last for days...
Anyway sounds like progress is being made, hang in there and it will be over soon enough.

Early Congrats

[Kimmy]

Clint, I hope the birth of your baby went smooth for you and jen. Congrats on the new bundle of joy! Besure to post lots of pics, we would love to see them!

 

[mnreefman]

well guys 36 hrs of inductions and no baby...
i cant say im upset, more dissapointed.. they tried everying, the gel, cervadel, putosin, and theres also a newer way as well, we were actually the first at this hospital to try it, they stick a catheter up in the cervix anf fill the yip with water to expand the cervix and then that is supposed to trigger contractions... well none of it worked, so back to the clinic tommaorw to talk to doc about other means of getting this baby out...

hopefully ill have some pics for you all later on this week... on a side note my birthday is on thursday, so maybe i could be getting the best present on that day.... anyway.. thank you all for the kind words and wishes
