When I told my nurse I needed to push she told me I didn't and finally sighed in disgust that she would check. Of course I was 10 cm and fully effaced. I guess it would be easier for them if we all fit into nice little categories. It amazes me how the professionals treat women giving birth as if we are exactly the same.

It seems pretty evident to me from my own experience and hearing stories like this that inductions are handled poorly a lot! Ugh, what a nightmare.

I had several different ones because with both I didn't dilate. I can relate to the last bit. I was sitting at 3cms for over a day, they broke my water - just before they were about to give up, they upped the pitocin and I went from 3-10 in 20 minutes. For me though, I started to panic thinking the EPI was wearing off because I had major hip pain - the lead nurse recognized that as part of being fully dilated or something. Pitocin is evil.

It seems to be equally common for women to fly from 3 cm to 9 in less than hour. It’s amazing to me how widespread the myth is that each centimeter of dilation takes an hour.

I would have been signing the papers for a C-section as well. We're very lucky here in Aus, they encourage us to eat 'lightly' (sandwiches etc) and will provide us with food and drink (coffee, tea, juice, water) while in labour. I still thank god for the midwife who kept me supplied with orange juice. Wow poor woman.
