Ok all checked in triage and confirmed my water did break. Still only at 2cm but now 70% effaced up from 50% on Friday. My blood pressure is high but the nurse is going to check with the doctor to see if I can go walking and get things moving to hopefully avoid pitocin.

They are going to let me walk after they do my bloodwork. Of course my veins suck and now I'm waiting on a second nurse to try.

So it's just after 10 30 here and I can walk until midnight and go back to get checked. I'm barely having any contractions which sucks.

Walking didn't do much so they started the pitocin. They said to try to sleep but I'm not tired.
And the IV is in my right wrist so it's hard to type.

I hope the pitocin does the trick without any drama, especially if you're hoping to avoid pain meds. Hang in there!

Pitocin started around 12 15 and increased every 30 minutes. It was at a 4 and I was dying with back contractions coming about a minute and a half apart. Got checked a little after 2am and only 3cm so I requested an epidural. It's in place and I was last checked around 3 15am after the catheter was placed and was at a 4 so at least those horrible back contractions did something.
I'm going to sleep now and hopefully things get going while I am.
