That's got to be it lol. It's not a full moon or anything. The mother and baby floor is full too so we get to stay in the nice big L&D room We were so full today on the pp unit. Everyone's vaginas kept exploding all day long. L&D was full. Valentine's babies don't come until the end of November (like say mine ). New Years babies come early-mid October (Dd1😂) My fetus is a Valentine's day baby! I have long cycles! ETA: EDD of 11/11

Pitocin started at 10:40pm. On legit the lowest setting. They normally start at a 2, she started at 1 for me

They are monitoring me but I am allowed to move around. I'm attempting to rest as much as is possible before shit starts to get real. There's apparently several ladies having difficult births/emergency c sections so I'm happy to be the mellow patient for the time being.

DS3 went high when they broke my water, so I wasn’t allowed up. I had to turn from side to side to get him to drop back down and engage. Once he did, it went quick. Hoping the same for you...and lots of rest until then.

Blah so hot and sweaty. I just turned the ac colder. DH is asleep in a sweatshirt under a blanket ... and I am sweating lol. Pitocin at a 3 ... contractions maybe every 5 minutes? Gr. But I peed and there was definitely some gross bloody tissue so things are slowly progressing.

Contractions every 2-3 min. Apparently heartburn does not gaf if you are in labor or not. I'm trying to rest but ya know, it's hard without my tums. I may ask for some actually, if they can give them to me.

Got something for the heartburn so I'm gonna try to sleep. Pitocin on 6 out of 20. Still not in "active" labor lol. But baby is doing well and I'm not dying in pain, so I'll take it. I know they are gonna bump stuff up in morning.

I remember my heartburn being awful when I was in labor. I begged for meds and they gave me as much as they could but it was still bad. I hope you're doing okay!

Re starting the pitocin shortly. I just walked the halls to stretch and snuck some pretzels. They will be doing the pitocin more aggressively (up 2 every half hour) and as long as baby tolerates it well, I'm hoping for a baby by lunch. If baby doesn't tolerate the pitocin, I am looking at a csection.
At this point, get this kid out of me! I am contracting on my own without the pitocin but not as a frequency that they want. So we are all hopeful that the pitocin will do the trick.

This kid has their foot in my rib cage and kicks violently at it every time I have a contraction. Dear baby, please give your mother a break. Oh and get out!
Pitocin started and baby looks good so far. Fx crossed. ♡

I was able to get more meds and a popsicle that I'm savoring. I can't wait until tonight when I don't have it anymore!
