Room 302:
"That's right," Tiffany says as she watches Rose roll onto her side. "Your second injection will be in 12 hours, but I will be back to check on you before that." When Rose is in position Tiffany moves her gown out of the way and disinfects the injection site. "You are going to feel a big pinch," she warns before inserting the needle into Rose and begins to inject the steroid into her.
Room 304:
After a minute Dr. Pierce removes his fingers and covers Gavin back up. Removing his glove he gives Gavin a smile, "Good news. You are now a little over 7 cms dilated, 70% effaced and Baby A has moved down to the -4 station, so you are officially in transition. So I would predict that within the next hour you will be ready to start pushing. What I would like to do is get you into a sitting position to help the babies move down further before you start pushing and I would like to get you back on the monitors so we can watch the babies through the last stage of labor and while you push." The doctor pauses to give Gavin time to process this new information before continuing, "Now just to prepare you, because Baby B is still in breech position I am going to have you moved into an Operating Room rather than an Delivery Room when the time comes in case we have to do an emergency c-section. That is not saying it won't be possible for you to deliver them both naturally but I like to be prepared just in case. Now before I go to get things set up, do you have any questions for me?"
Room 308:
"Tim is right," Katherine tells Scott softly as she helps Tim get him comfortable in bed so that she can check him, "changing positions can do a lot of good to help with labor pains. After I finish checking you we can get you into another position if you would like. But for right now can you get into position so I can check you real quick?" She asks him as she moves to put on a pair of gloves.
