So...on June 2nd I went to get cervidal put in. My blood pressure had been high for the past week or so and I was diagnosed with gestational hypertension. My doctor was afraid it would turn into preclampsia. So...I went in the night before to get the cervidal put in. They said it makes just 5 % of women go into labor. Well...I was one of those lucky 5 %. It worked a little too well! I was having contraction on top of contraction and our baby's heart rate was starting to drop each time I was having a contraction. The nurses tried taking to cervidal out....having me switch positions....putting me on oxygen...and all sorts of fun stuff. Nothing worked. =( Dave and I were so out of it by then that all we remember was the nurse constantly monitoring things. By 4:00 a.m. I was six cm dilated. They called the doctor in and told us that I would need to have a c-section. At 5:01 a.m. our little baby was born and we were delighted to see that it was a girl!!
