I would have thyme hold off on the water breaking until the anesthesiologist is available too. Poor lady at 8cm didn’t get to have it either, hopefully that was her plan. 😬 Maybe some more walking? Or so you have to stay hooked up?
I must say I’m fascinated by this L&D triage thing.

Epidural is always a valid choice! I wanted it last time too but shit hit the fan too quickly. Haven't decided how I'm going to do it this time.

That sounds like a good plan to me. Dang, that lady probably already has that baby in her arms. Yeah, the nurse came to check on me and said she already delivered. God damn. Because she came in like that, I'm still waiting to have my water broken because the doc is obviously busy and so is the nurse who would be assigned to me. It's working out because I'm uncomfortable but miiiiiight make it to seeing the anesthesiologist. I'm not on the monitors any more so I can move around, which definitely helps a bit. They are checking on me every hour to see how baby is doing with everything, basically. So far so good! |

Anesthesiologist still in surgery. OB came to check on me and my water broke on its own when she was, LOL. So we are starting oxytocin and I'm going to use gas (if I need it) until I can have an epi. If I can. Contractions are... something. Not looking forward to unmedicated oxytocin.

If I can. Contractions are... something. Not looking forward to unmedicated oxytocin. I had unmediated oxytocin last time too. By the time the nurse had checked me (3cm) and called the anesthesiologist, and he came, did his thing and was leaving,, I was already 10 cm so they turned it off. I basically got the epidural without getting the good stuff. It wasn't pleasant. Hoping baby comes soon for you! |

PDQ...  (name) arrived at 3:34 am after my water broke at 1:55 and they started an oxytocin drip because he was so high up. I tried the gas after about 15 minutes but it just made me feel drunk and lowered my inhibitions so I was wailing louder. The anesthesiologist came in when I was 8 cm dilated (LOL) and was literally about to put the needle in my back when I said no, we had to go now. Womp womp. He didn't even take the drape off my back, just got out of the way. DS was here in maybe five pushes total. 8lbs6oz! He's dozing in his bassinet. We are in love, of course. |

I would love to rest but they put us in a shared room and the other people are awake of course. I'm going to ask about a private room since I asked for one.
The lady I'm sharing with is non-stop complaining of pain and her baby cries a lot. I just want to sleep. I feel like I have been in here for hours. I haven't.

I hope you getting a private room- hospitals suck, but having to share a room makes it worse.

My roommate has taken up residence in the bathroom. I think she's moving in. I am this close to waddling my bleeding and stitched nether regions to one of the washrooms in the waiting room, IV in tow.
It occurs to me that a shared PP bathroom might be the worst ever. So many bodily fluids. Huh.
Can I make do until private room? (No.)

Happy Birthday Jasper! Such a little cutie pie! Great work momma!
Shared PP room and especially bathroom sounds horrible. Hopefully she calms the crap down or you get your own ASAP.

Congratulations! You are a rock star. Hopefully they get you that private room soon. No way would I be able to deal with a shared PP room.
Enjoy those baby snuggles!!
