Since Claire was 8 days late, we decided to move forward with being induced. It was such a different experience than my first labor. We arrived at the hospital early in the morning, excited to get checked in and get things going. Little did I know it would take 12 hours for us to meet baby Claire.
We had a few hiccups along the way. One being Claire's heart rate dropping as labor progressed more quickly than either of us could handle, so we had to take a brief hiatus during labor. Also, at the time of deliver, we learned that she was sunny side up. Luckily my doctor was able to turn Claire around right before delivering her. It was a long day filled with many emotions and a happy ending! I'm so lucky to have an amazing husband who held my hand through the entire day and a talented doctor who was able to provide me hope and confidence that we'd get through each complication we faced.
