  • Hi! It's been a while! I had to get induced labor because I had gestational hypertension- you can watch a more in depth video here: • A PREGNANCY SCARE!
    My Labor Induction consisted of 3 steps:
    00:00 Intro: I had a baby!
    00:31 labor and delivery room tour
    01:21 Step 1- Cervix Ripening
    02:48 Step 2- Pitocin
    05:07 Step 3 Getting my Epidural & Amniotomy
    08:14 fully dilated! Pushing time!
    08:55 The baby is here!

    I just want to say thank you for walking us through the process from beginning to end, I’m getting induced in a week and this is my first baby and I’m absolutely clueless on what’s going to happen. I know everybody’s birthing experience is different but now I kind of get an idea of what to expect. ❤

    The time passed really fast, seeing you as a medical student to now being a mom it's fascinating.
    I've been following you since your med school and seeing you now giving birth, I kinda teared up a bit.
    You've been an amazing person and you will be an amazing mom too.
    May God bless you with immense love, peace, wealth and all that you desire.
    Thank you for sharing you journey with us ❤❤❤.

      There's a reason the USA has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world. That's only going to go up with the overturning of Roe.

    You were my long distance study buddy during med-school! I used to study while watching your study with me videos and I followed your journey all the way to residency and you’re married and watching you giving birth made me very teary! It’s like having my friend who’s going through med school with me and graduating with me and you’re a mother and a resident and I’m a fiancé and preping for my exams and applying for residency. It just feels wonderful to be able to share your life with someone online and feel very connected to them, yet you’ve never met them! God bless you and your family ❤

    Thanks for sharing! I had a very similar experience, and I was induced 1 day after you (4/13/22), no balloon but ended with a c-section due to my baby's heart rate dropping everytime I pushed, and ended up having my baby on 4/15/22, 37 hours after they started my induction. I was stuck at 5cm for a long time then once I hit 7cm it jumped to 10cm quickly. My first meal was an In-n-Out burger and it was the BEST thing ever, but same as you, I wanted sushi so badly but nothing was open at 8am lol! Congratulations on your baby!

    Back in 2015, I started my labor at 7 AM, but despite induction nothing happened until 2 PM so the Pitocin was given and not even 30 mins later the baby was out :D so no epidural and it hurt a lot and I might have left teeth marks on the bed lol :D I was so bored during the day, had to pretend I need to pee just to get up and walk or sit somewhere :) You did amazing! Your husband is so loving and supportive it is so heartwarming

    This was one of the most calming and informative induction videos. Its like, I know everything to expect but I’m so scared because it seems like you only see and hear the horror stories. Even nurses and providers and midwives online talk about how induction always leads to c-sections and long labor which isn’t very encouraging

It's my first and probably last baby, I am alone in the World and terrified something will go wrong.
