The day has come, and it was a long ride into Regina. The thought that I wouldn't be pregnant with our peanut and no matter what I tried to do to keep this one baking a little longer, it was hard comprehend, because we knew that the safest thing was to deliver.
We got to the hospital and started the contraction stress test at 11:00, with pitocin. I was dilated (nearly 3 cm) & effaced (50%) before hand and at station +2 so I was well on my way to go into labour even on my own.
Everyone got busy so we waited until 3:00, when the OB on call came in to check me and see if it was time. The OB ended up getting busy again so I was put on hold yet again. She said she'll be back in around 6 to check again and to break my water. 9:30 finally came and the OB finally got into see me, she check and said let break your water. So as she tried to break my water the baby's head disengaged/ slid back up (because of her being so small) So the Ob couldn't break it, because if she did, the chances of the umbilical cord coming first were too great. So they put me back onto the pitocin for a bit more to bring the baby back down.
