Meghon switched care providers at 28 weeks pregnant after some negative experiences with her OB. She made the decision to seek midwifery care, she hired a doula, and she started preparing for a non-medicated birth. At 42 weeks pregnant Meghon went to see her midwife for a routine check up and to have a foley balloon placed. Unfortunately, Meghon's blood pressure was extremely high and she was sent to the hospital to begin an induction.
Meghon quickly dilated to 6 cm and the foley baloon fell out at 2PM on Thursday. Meghon labored for the rest of the night and into the next morning on pitocin. She had a cervical check at 9AM and she was still dilated to 6 cm. They made the decision to break her water and labor immediately got more intense. Meghon walked, lunged, tried different positions, and labored in the tub. At 6PM Meghon was told that she had dilated to 7.
Meghon decided to have an epidural placed and try to get some rest. She rested while laying in different positions to help her baby descend and adjusted her position based on her babies heart rate. At 2AM on Saturday Meghon was still dilated to 7. They decided to move forward with a cesarean section.
Listen in to hear the rest of Meghon's story and hear how she advocated to have her doula in the operating room.
