Away this is important 598 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 8: to know due to how far the hospital was the 599 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 8: first TIME i gave, birth and we weren't sure if 600 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 8: we would make it in. Time my ob AND i 601 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 8: agreed induction was the safest and the best course of 602 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 8: action for myself and baby. BOY i know a lot 603 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 8: of people think induction should only be for certain, cases 604 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 8: but for some like myself who live in a very rural, 605 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 8: area hospitals are far and few. Between either, way we 606 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 8: learned that the softening agent that they give you wasn't 607 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 8: needed for my son BECAUSE i was two centimeters dilated 608 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 8: and eighty five percent were. Faced WHEN i got to the, 609 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 8: HOSPITAL i was given a very very small amount of 610 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 8: pytocin and they broke my. Water he was out one hour. Later, 611 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 8: medically each, child, supposedly if all goes, well comes out 612 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 8: roughly thirty five to forty five minutes faster than the, 613 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 8: first but it also depends on the child and the. 614 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 8: Mother due to the fact that my son came out 615 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 8: so extremely quickly after my water, broke it's too much 616 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,919 Speaker 8: of a risk for us to allow me to go 617 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 8: into natural labor given how far the hospital is. WELL 618 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 8: i was seen my doctor AND i requested to be 619 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 8: induced BECAUSE i was afraid of having my child on 620 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 8: the side of a very high speed highway that we 621 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 8: would have to take to get to this. Hospital he 622 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 8: agreed and said that was the safest option we could. 623 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 8: DO i spoke with my mom On wednesday night after 624 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 8: she called me around ELEVEN, pm and she proceeded to 625 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 8: tell me how she does not like the idea That 626 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 8: i'm being, induced and that it's for women who need 627 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 8: immediate or medical, attention WHICH i do agree, with but 628 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 8: in certain, cases you're putting not only your, life but 629 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 8: your brand new baby's life at. Risk if you were 630 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 8: trying to deliver on the side of the. 631 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 4: Road why do you? 632 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 8: Care after that, conversation she then proceeded to tell me 633 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 8: that she did not want my mother in law on 634 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 8: the delivery.
