Sorry about the long hiatus. There are definitely challenges to
being completely present with Melissa's and still try to connect to
the outside world. I am very challenged with walking that thin line.
Her
labor is steady, and she moves through each wave with power and noise.
Baby is shifting to a bit more comfortable position and continues to be
active.
They are both entering the serious business of birth and I will repeat my request to refrain from visiting or calling.
Exhaustion
and dehydration are the challenges with long labors, so Melissa naps
and sips between contractions that come about every 3 minutes.
For
those of you wondering what her dilation is or what interventions have
been used. At this time, she is not being routinely checked for dilation
because her membranes are ruptured.
She got a little kick start to stimulate contractions yesterday, but nothing since last evening.
She is moving along as women have done for thousands of years, using the rhythm of her body to dictate her progress.
She is strong and feels your love,
Carol
