    Rachel-would you know why they would be starting her on pitocin(she sees an ob) right away when she got to her room? Just curious. I'd ask her, but she's probably busy. ;) They were going to induce her Tuesday morning(day 15 overdue). 

    I've sent her all the good vibes I had! LOL! He was estimated at 8 lbs 10 oz a week and a half ago. He'll be a big boy!

    It's standard of care in most places if she isn't contracting on her own. Once water has broken many doctors are usually anxious to get labor moving (especially if mom is GBS +) even though 95% of women will go into labor on their own within 24 hrs of their water breaking.

    Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification! She just arrived to test the fluid, was having some slight contractions other own. Apparently they want to speed it up. Interesting!

    It's a boy!!! He was born at 5:30 this morning! She was 4cm and got her epidural at 1:30am. I know no stats as they give the baby to the mother right away. :)
