[DaRealLeon]

Ken nodded again and breathed heavily and slow.

[pushinghard]

"Does that feel any better?" She asks, writing his blood pressure on the back of her glove.

[DaRealLeon]

"Im not sure" He answered. "Are the babies coming?"

[pushinghard]

"I believe so, but it's unusual for the pain to be constant. Can I do a quick check?"

[DaRealLeon]

"Yes, please do." Ken answered through several deep breaths.

[pushinghard]

"Little bit of pressure," she reminds before carefully examining him. "Yep, we;re having some babies today," she smiles, covering him back up.

[DaRealLeon]

"Oh good." He said "It's about time I have a few."

[pushinghard]

"Glad you still have a sense of humor," she smiles. "Keep breathing."

[DaRealLeon]

"Alright" Ken responded. He took a few more deep breaths.

[pushinghard]

"Want to try the tub or the ball?"

[DaRealLeon]

Ken was confused. "Hmmm, what is the ball?" He asked.

[pushinghard]

"Just like an exercise ball," she began to explain. "It can help relax you and is another way to cope with the pain."

[DaRealLeon]

"Oh I see." Ken said. "I think I would like to try that."

[pushinghard]

Amanda brings it from the hall supply closet, setting it in the middle of the room. She carefully helps him up. "Doing ok? Dizzy or light headed?"

[DaRealLeon]

"No, just in labor I guess." He answered.

[pushinghard]

She helps him down onto the ball, and kneels in front of him. "Try bouncing a little or rotating your hips."

[DaRealLeon]

Ken tried to bounce, but his belly made it too heavy for him to do so. "Um, I don't think I can." He said.

[pushinghard]

"Okay, just relax then. Can I rub your back or anything?"

[DaRealLeon]

"If you think It'll help." Ken said.

[pushinghard]

"It's all up to you. I'm here to help you be as comfortable as possible right now."
