So, we started our pushing around 5pm and now we’re on a break to let K’s body rest and recover. Given that we’ve tricked her body into labor, all of her key labor muscles (like the uterus) are exhausted. The doctor described it like being at the gym working out for 36 hours straight. (I assured her that I wouldn’t know what 36 minutes straight at the gym would feel like.)
So know we wait some more for the pitocin to kick our contractions back up so we can start pushing again.
Maureen finished her shift at 7p and we left her with a big hug. She was so helpful today Our old friend Joanne is back with us to take us home.
Keep your fingers crossed.
Love,
K&G&?&?
