Corridor 9

Throughout the day, Kristie has been hurting miserably with her back, using a bedpan has been unsuccessful to say the least, and lack of sleep has made her grouchy! Needless to say, I’m the one feeling the brunt of her pain.

It’s official, her water has broken. It hasn’t gushed like you would normally expect, but she’s been loosing water for a while now. Because of this, she’s been taken off anti-contraction medicine. See, the problem is that if her water is broken, she doesn’t need to leave the baby in there. It’s her bodies way of telling her it’s time to have a boy.

In addition to being removed from the contraction medicine, she’s also been put on antibiotics. When the water broke, the risk of infection to both her and the baby went up dramatically. She is on antibiotics now every few hours and they are having to draw blood to check for infection every day now. Did I mention Kristie hates needles?

Expected time frame is within a week for delivery.
