Arrived at the hospital at 845am to be induced. Doc started the gel but cervix was still very high and closed. Baby was also sitting high up

We sat around all day, contractions started up but very irregular. Around 3pm, they started to get more regular but baby was still high and i was only 1-2 cm so I was hooked up to the drip. They started antibiotics at 4 for GBS.

Doc was suppose to come at 330 to check me out but we waited and waited, he was in the OR and then got called for a emergency in the ER

Just after 8pm doc finally come in and broke my water. It hurt don't remember it hurting like that before. I was only 2-3 cm and doc said likely by midnight but baby was still up high. I wanted to get out of bed, move around, get in the jacuzzi tub but because baby wasn't engaged yet, I wasn't allowed as it is possible for cord to fall out before baby.

About 9pm I asked for some drugs and got morphine, which really didnt do anything. Then things got intense.

Baby was still up high, contractions were very strong and painful. I was starting to get the urge to push. I had a bloody show and they decided it was time to call doc back.

Doc arrived finally and I was stuck at 9 but a lot of pain, having hot flashes, was gagging after every contraction (had the same with Mdd). Doc asked if I wanted an Epi. I said yes but baby wasn't waiting

I just had to push, told nurses he was coming. They YELLED for the doc. I yelled at Dh here comes baby and Dh ran to yell for doc (I warned everyone that babies come fast once they start coming for this reason as baby #1, doc arrived after baby, baby #3, doc was at walk in and RAN to the hospital and just caught the baby, no gown on at all, huffing and puffing.)

Doc was struggling to get on his gown and gloves , told me to wait, haha ok male doctor.

3-4 pushed later out baby came. started crying right away. I got the shakes like crazy and the placenta was stuck. They looked after baby and Dh held him for about an hour until I was able to stop shaking and placenta was delivered

The Toys R us one i think will last longer. The slide on the make your own seems very short. We have one that they sell at Canadain tire but got it from a road side stand for half the price. I have heard the one at Costco with the tube slide is really great. If you do a search down in the toddler section and new moms you shoudl find posts about this recently

We paid $375 tax included for it. It was in October of last year however we bought it to stage our old crappy back yard as we were selling
