@babysurfer The baby will press against the cervix in addition to the pitocin to speed along labor. Doc just arrived stay tuned.

No progress. They are taking @Breedale off of the pitocin for the night. This is the stubbornest damn baby ever!

Pitocin is in. Now we see what happens.

The Docs let @Breedale take a shower. I ate some lunch and now we are waiting again. Still having strong contractions w/o pitocin.

Add Your Comment

@breedale, after strong contraction: "If they give me a little pitocin, they'd better give me a little epidural. I'm over that already!"

Add Your Comment

At noon @breedale gets to take a shower and have some lunch. Then she will start pitocin.
