Contractions ain't pretty says Kyle

From the mother that is about to be "This is John typing because its hard to blog when you are laying on your side. Kyle is having to lay on her side because of her blood pressure, which is why we are here in the first place. At about 11am, she inquired about possible pain medications in her iv, in order to get those - the nurse had to check her for progress in dilation. Nurse checked and she was 6 to 7 centimeters and nurse said it was time for epidural, which she got at 11:30. Epidural was nothing, much better than expected. Baby's heart rate dropped so now Kyle is on oxygen. Ice chips are now a new favorite, but she has an extreme case of the shakes, which was never mentioned in all 77 books that she read. The shakes are either from the epidural or hormones as she progresses in labor. Doctor just came in and the baby's head has dropped significantly."
