Not progressing in L&D

Stephanie

Came to L&D yesterday around noon because I thought I was leaking fluid...I wasn't. But I was having regular contractions and my blood pressure was on the high side so they decided to keep me and start pitocin (I'm 40w1d)

Turns out, the pitocin was basically doing the opposite of what it was supposed to so my contractions spaced out and got less intense...so they stopped pitocin and are trying other induction methods.

Its 3am and I cant sleep because my blood pressure has to be monitored every 30 minutes.

I'm really hoping I start progressing soon. I'm ready to meet my baby but also so nervous...they said it could be a slow process.
