navygreen | Annie update.

I just spoke with

Annie's mom at the hospital. Poor Annie is still dilated to only 3cm, not yet fully effaced either. She's not changed since 2-3pm. The baby is facing up towards her belly (rather than towards her back, the ideal position), and this is causing the pain to be more intense for her and for things to stall.

Her mom said they had to give Annie some pain meds - put her on a drip - and that Annie's still pretty upset about that. She shouldn't be upset, of course, but it's not what she'd wanted to do. And I'm sure the hours with no change are not helping her emotions either. :-(

At the moment, they are trying to get the baby to change position, and Annie was suspended on her hands and knees in an effort to do this.

Heather has been off work for an hour now, and she is actually helping both Annie and the nurses right now. She'll probably be there for a good while, but I'm hoping to talk to her at some point, too.

So think good thoughts for Annie, and think position-changing thoughts for little Douglas. I'll update again when I know more.
