We're at the hospital, checked in and waiting for the pitosin drip IV.
Things of note:
Suze is an amazing strong woman whom I'm very proud of.
Small contractions have already started even without the IV.
He's in "stage 1 position" which means he's dropped down onto the cervix and is applying the type of pressure that helps labor along.
his heart rate is a good 130 Suze's is a very calm mid 60's.
We had a 'network chiropractic' adjustment done for Suze over the weekend. Network 'chiropractory'(is that a word? probably not) is very interesting, Dr. Sharon, who we saw adjusted Suze's Pelvis & Uterus and the muscle systems etc to be in the correct line for birth. She apparently specializes in helping pregnant women get ready for birth. Another interesting fact for her adjustments is that in 16 years not a single one of the women she's adjusted have ended in c-section. Pretty good track record. Also the average labor from start of actual labor to end has been 4 hours or less. Again, hoping that's how it goes!!
All is good and we'll keep you posted as we can. Hospital + internets = :)
Love & Peace
