joannqn Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I failed my amniotic fluid index this morning. My fluid is at 1cm...for those who know what that means. So, I'm at the hospital. Paperwork done. On monitoring now. Waiting for lunch. Then starting low dose pitocin after lunch. They are hoping to use minimum pitocin to get things going because I'm already 5cm, 50% effaced, 0 station, and having mild contractions every 7 minutes.

Loupelou Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 JoAnn - my fluid was a 2 with my last one and I was induced two hours later. Here's hoping it's over quickly and your little one does great!:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Come on new WTM baby! I hope your delivery is a safe and easy one, Joann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbean05 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Yay! I was induced with pit with both of my previous kids (hoping this upcoming one will come on his own, but who knows) and it was actually QUITE fabulous. I would do it again in a heartbeat (and I was an all natural bradly method mommy when I checked into the hospital--you will do great!) Sending baby vibes!

joannqn Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 They let me eat. IV is in and pitocin is going. They started it at the lowest level (.5) and are increasing it .5 every 20 minutes until contractions are 2-3 minutes apart. Things are going ok. Baby's heart rate dropped too low when I tried walking so I'm sitting on the bed right now. They are being really accommodating. Cool thing...my room has a nook that we've dubbed "the cave". We have a mattress/pad thing on the floor and the kids are hanging out in there part of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I love that you're online while you're in labor! And they're letting you eat? Score! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceyS/FL Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'm sorry you are having to go this route - i know you really didn't want to. I kept hoping to see you post you were in labor on your own. :grouphug: That the rest of the stay is smooth and easy and all that. The babe is the important thing....
