We called the hospital today before heading over for the induction and were told to try and get there a little earlier than the 10:30 scheduled time. When we arrived we were directed to a room and thought things were going to get under way quickly. Unfortunately, due to all the kaos of several deliveries my Oxytocin wasn't started until 1:10. We were introduced to a number of doctors, nurses, a deacon, and a student within a few hours. I was to receive the medication every 30 minutes but it just didn't work out that way. My contractions did start but they never were unbearable. At 5:00 pm one of the doctors came in and said that the pediatric doctors thought it was best to discontinue the induction and start over early tomorrow morning. This means that I will be staying overnight and playing the waiting game...again!
That really nice room I was told about wasn't available so Ernie had the most uncomfortable chair to "relax" in. After all our complaining we were finally moved to a room with a small couch for him. A couple of ladies with children here just stopped by to check in on us. The relationships we are building here are so supportive. It is nice to be able to speak to those who have been or are going through similar experiences. We are all praying for one another.
