D was in a lot of pain last evening. She took some analgesics which gave her temporary relief but the pain was excruciating everytime the drug wore off. She also threw up a couple of times; a side effect of analgesics.
We finally decided to go for epidural. She immediately felt relaxed, sleepy and tired, emotions she felt for the first time in the last 12 hrs before epidural. She could finally get some rest and let petocin do its job.
Her last cervical exam showed she is 6 cm dilated. Next check is in a few hours from now.
Baby on the way
