Finally Updating

Computer problems here at the hospital, but I think we're up and ready to go.

We've been here for a few hours and taking it slow. She is still 4cms and having mild contractions. They're only registering a 6 on the scale, when she has them. John Robert is doing great! His heart rate is 135, which is right where they want him to be.

They started off checking her vitals once an hour, but they now have her on monitors full time. They've started her on a small amount of Pitocion to help her dialate a little more. They only want to give her what she needs. The doctor "Karen" said she wants to mimic labor and will only give her as much as is needed and will stop it whenever the body gets itself going.

They did not use cervadel, to soft her cervix and will not break her water until active labor if it has not broken yet. She is very comfortable, except for the itching. The nurse is bringing her some lotion.
