I spoke with Sara for a bit this afternoon, so I will do the best I can to recall our conversation. She is still stalled at 3cm. Apparently Perinatologists have to follow certain guidelines before administering drugs that induce labor, which is what Sara needs to get the ball rolling. Things like a broke bag of waters, dilation past 4 cm or an amnio that proves lung maturing would each do the trick. And she is on the cusp of each, just not there yet.
At this time she is managing with contractions much like she has had for weeks. She has found some pain relief that works for her and has even been allowed some water, jello and broth. She sounds like she is managing the anticipation and frustration like a champ.
The plan for now is to do the amnio in the next 2-3 days (I think. The exact time line for this seemed unclear.) As long as the amnio looks good, they can start her on the meds to induce.
Hang in there Sara!!!
