Well Michelle has fought as hard as she could. 945pm and we had to move to another room that would allow for medication. After nearly 15 hours of enduring pain I could never imagine she's just too worn out. We are both working on no sleep over the past few nights but she has to add to that the pain and exhaustion of labor.
So here's where we are:
1. Michelle needed to get an IV inserted because she had lost too many fluids
2. She literally couldn't stand the pain any more so she's on a pain reliever..the contractions were killing her and killing me to see her in a situation where none of us could control the outcome
3. She's going to be given a medication soon to quicken her contractions. While she was having big painful contractions they were sporadic.
The killer was that after 4 hours the Dr. checked her again at 800pm and she was still at 4cm. She hadn't budged. She was in no shape (from the pain) to deal with anything and we had a serious talk about our options and here we are. This all sucks right now but I know that the last post in this blog will make it all worth it.
So we are in for a long night...she will get to rest finally and hopefully the baby comes tonight but I've learned not to get my hopes up. Again the staff here are great and I can't wait to thank them all when this is over. Right now I just want this over and I'm not even the one going through all the pain.
