(Project: Baby) Denied!

Some details which maybe I don't want to put on the front page, so I'll put 'em in the extended section.


Well, it seems that Chelle's body was not yet ready to give birth. Chelle was given a dose of (some drug whose name I can't remember) in order to ripen the cervix. Four hours later, pitosin was started to induce labor. Well, she started to get contractions, but the darn cervix just would not budge. It's supposed to be opened 10cm in order to give birth, but it never got more than 1.5cm open. And it never got more than 50% effaced.

We have yet another sonagram scheduled for tomorrow, basically to make sure that everything's okay. If baby doesn't come naturally, we have another inducement appointment for Monday night.
