In this birth vlog, I’m taking you with me through our raw & real elective induction experience—starting at midnight when we got to the hospital and they started my IV, monitors, and the whole “okay, it’s go time” process. I share the little things people don’t always tell you, like the fact that I couldn’t eat until after birth (so please, if you’re getting induced… eat before you go because I was hungry hungry). I also walk you through getting Cytotec placed, how the second dose really had me feeling those cramps, and how fast everything moved compared to my first birth with Noah. Once my doctor came in and broke my water, things progressed hella quick. I got my epidural right after because those contractions can be intense—especially with your water broken—and then it was pushing time. You’ll hear real-time coaching, the counting, the emotions, and our first moments meeting our baby girl at 15:57. This whole experience was nothing but God’s grace, and I hope this encourages any mama preparing for an induction that birth can still be peaceful, empowering, and covered by faith.
