We are going into the hospital because Debi’s water broke at about 4:30pm. Dr Joseph is going to meet us at the hospital because he is the oncall doctor. Guess Debi was right about Dr Satterfield not delivering our baby and delivering early. At least she doesn’t have to worry about delivering on the side of the road in rush hour traffic. At 7:30pm, we arrived at the hospital. A resident doctor checks Debi and confirms her water broke and she is dialated to a 1 (she has to be a 10 to deliver). It is going to be a long night at this rate. She will be delivering in the next 12 to 24 hours. At 10:30pm, doctor checks again to see if labor is progressing and it is not. Dr Joseph talks to us about our options since we don’t want a medicated birth (i.e. no pitocin, no pain meds, no epidural). We decide on the lesser of the 2 evils and go with pitocin over c-section. At 12 midnight, Debi feels her first contraction. Dr Joseph was called in and we are ready for delivery.
