Jen, are they putting her on the clock for 24 hours post-break, or no?
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Sure, bring actual knowledge into the process.
But that would please me (if not JZ) mightily. Tomorow would have been my mom's 65th, so a special day already.
Matilda was also my Nana's middle name. (Ooh, weird, and JZ's J is my middle name. Spooooky. Or something.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
I have plenty to do, but instead I am refreshing b.org obsessively.
And checking crack ebay. I do the same thing--even when I'm not spending, I'm looking on ebay.
JZ's water broke last night, correct? And she started contractions around 9ish? I hope she's not in labor too long.
I was just glad she didn't think I was being weird and inappropriate.
As long as she's not in pain, she's probably amused by our interest. Honestly, if you're not in pain or sleeping when you're in labor, you're usually bored.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Whenever I read "Matilda," I'm hopelessly earwormed with either "Waltzing Matilda" or "Matilda" ("Matilda, Matilda, Matilda she take me money and run Venezuela.").

GAH! BATTLING EARWORMS! One in each ear and they're going to duke it out in the middle of my head.

Jen, are they putting her on the clock for 24 hours post-break, or no?
I didn't ask, but that's pretty much SOP. I'd be surprised if they didn't. That said, I really hope they just do what IMO is more sensible, which is to monitor her temperature and the baby's heart rate frequently once 24 hours have passed, if she's still pregnant 24 hours from now, and let her continue to labor as long as she doesn't show any signs of infection.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Jen, is it SOP to cath a woman before an epidural or even during?

I say 3:00. Not that I really know how long it takes...just wanting to feel part of stuff.

Yeah, that's what I figured. (AKA, why I wouldn't consent to bag breaking during labor.)
That said, I really hope they just do what IMO is more sensible, which is to monitor her temperature and the baby's heart rate frequently once 24 hours have passed, if she's still pregnant 24 hours from now, and let her continue to labor as long as she doesn't show any signs of infection.
Me too.

Because books.
And checking crack ebay.
Ain't it the truth.

That would be good, if they can. The less interference the better, I always say.
