Room 308:
"If it were me, I would start with breaking the waters but holding off with the pitocin for now, since your contractions are already strong and pitocin makes them stronger. A lot of times once the water breaks the babys's head will start pushing on the cervix more which will start it to open and keep the labor progressing. If nothing happens and labor stays stalled, then we can discuss other options, but this is where I would start. Do you guys want some time to think about it?"
Room 302:
"I am sorry I know it hurts but at least it is over now," Nurse Tiffany says as she removes the needle and after applying a bandaid covers Rose back up before moving to dispose of the needle. "Dr. Pierce asked me to hook you up to the blood pressure monitor as a precaution to watch for any reactions to the steroids but then I promise to stop bugging you for a while," she says with a small smile as she moves to the side of the bed and pulls out the blood pressure cuff and wraps it around Rose's arm. As she turns the monitor on, she turns back to Rose and says softly, "Is there anything that I can get you? Are you sure there isn't someone I can call to be here with you through this?"
Room 304:
Seeing Gavin becoming nervous as he processes the information so he uses a calm tone while answering Gavin's questions hoping to put him back at ease. "Yes, of course we will try and turn the baby if it stays breech and if everything looks good I don't see why we can't try a natural breech delivery. Moving you to the OR is just a precaution, in the event we would need to do a c-section I would rather have us already in the room than have to worry about moving you to another room or risk having them being booked up and us not being able to get in," he explains as he uses the controls on Gavin's bed to get him sitting up further to get the baby to move down.
