Melissa's doctor met with Tim and Natalie and the three of them agreed on a plan for the night. A "whiff" of Pitocin will help increase the intensity of Melissa's surges and hopefully accelerate her dilation. With the 48th hour post rupture in our rear view mirror (water broke Thursday at 8:45 pm) , it is time to get serious about helping this little treasure out.
Once Pitocin is started, the baby will be monitored continuously. Melissa won't have as much freedom to walk around, but she will definitely see progress.
Anna spent some precious time with Melissa this evening. The room has been set up with focal points, candles and other tokens to help Melissa manage the increasing waves of pressure.
We are all hoping the Pitocin does the trick and brings baby down. It will be a long night for Melissa, Pitocin contractions are no joke.
Keep your good wishes and love flowing to our Melissa and the little one.
They are both more precious than I can express.
Carol
