The Betty Experience: 7 Really is a Lucky #!

Jun 22, 2009 8 Comments by Ernessa T. Carter

This just in! The doctor did a cervical exam to determine whether to administer the pitocin.

Turns out that thanks to these horrible back-to-back contractions, I’ve already made it to 7cm, which means I won’t have to take the pitocin! Super yea!!!

So hopefully I’ll get to the pushing point here soon.

In other news, CH has become rather obsessed with the fetal-maternal monitoring machine. He’s loving tracking my contractions on them. Also he likes that you can see the all the other babies’ heartbeat rates and contractions on the floor.

Right now he says there’s one person pushing and another chyck getting a C-section. He also likes to tell me when my contractions are particularly huge.

I think he might have been an air traffic controller in a past life.

Anyway here’s his new computer love and also a pic of my last contraction. According to him im currently having the biggest contraction on the floor:

Yay!!! That is so exciting!! I just left a comment on your last entry that maybe the epidural would do the trick and then I see this. I am so excited for you and you are making me really impatient for my baby to come!

my mom said that my dad did exactly the same thing when she was pregnant with all of us. Back then it was called the t.a.c.o. meter, so while my mom was in labor my dad was making taco jokes.
