Big day

In the hospital  today  is the big  day. I'm being  induced but baby's heart rate dropped with contractions. A little worried they say I might need a c-section, this is my first. Amy advice?

^^^I had to be put on pitocin because my water had broken, but I wasn't contracting.

The contractions made my baby boys heart rate slow down too, not a lot, but some. They gave me oxygen and made the iv give fluids faster. I didn't have a c section, I had baby boy normally :)

Take things as they come. Start the pitocin and hope everything goes well. If not, take it as it comes at that point. You'll do great! Best of luck!
