Update from the hospital
We arrived and were started on pitocin at about 5:15pm. After 10 hours and not enough progress to do anything we decided to stop it for four hours and try and get some rest. With my blood pressure being high they also had me on Magnesium (great combo of drugs pitocin to bring on labor and magnesium has also been used to stop labor). I also had to have a antihypertensive drug because my blood pressure. Then to actually get some rest after the 10 hours of pitocin I had a pain med. So we now have a couple good hours of sleep under our belt and started the pitocin again at 7:45 this morning, so far only mild contractions and no real progress but by golly we hope to bring this baby boy into the world sometime today!
