Corridor 9

Kristie’s first night here at the hospital was quite restless. She has already started having contractions, and is already dilated to 3 cm. She began having contractions at roughly 1 am if I remember right. Unfortunately, because they are really trying to hold off delivering this baby for a while, they are giving her anti-contraction drugs. While this keeps the baby in there longer, it also increases the risks a bit.

In addition to the pregnancy problems, she’s always had back problems. Laying on these beds for 24 hours a day really sucks. During the night she was told that she no longer gets bathroom privileges anymore either. It’s bedpans for now.
