Yesterday was my last day in the office, and thank god because my water broke this morning like something out of the movies! I'm in the hospital now, had to come in right away since I'm strep B positive. Getting pitocin started. Will this be a November or December baby??

Ah, so exciting! A similar situation happened with my first. I had my planned last day of work, came home and that night my water broke. Like my kid got the memo that I was done with work and she could come. Good luck!

So I'm only dilated to a 3, but after about 2 hours of pitocin contractions I couldn't take it anymore and got the epidural. Now I'm just relaxed, and starving!

Yay typo31! Best wishes for a smooth labor. I also got my epidural placed at about the same point with my induction - it was AWESOME. Here's hoping baby makes some moves so you can have food soon.  |

Forgot to mention that I (stupidly?) agreed to participate in a research trial where I would be blindly given either "high dose" or "low dose" pitocin to help assess its affects on labor length and cesareans. Based on my screaming, swearing reaction, I got the high dose!
Ah well, all in the name of science right?

Baby girl arrived at 5:59 this morning after 2.5 hours of pushing. I developed a high fever during labor so they had to take her away for monitoring after 1 hour of skin to skin - we will get her back after about 6 hours. My heart is crushed to be away from her but I'm taking this time to rest and eat a donut and a fried chicken sandwich!
