Derek's Post # 8................. Holding Station

  Courtnie and the baby are both doing great.  Mrs. Elizabeth and I have eaten our dinner and are hanging out with Courtnie.  There are a few things going on not previously mentioned....

1) Station is still in the MINUS...meaning she is not dropping like she should. If Courtnie dilates all the way that means the baby might be too big to come out of the CANAL. The only way to then safely deliver the baby would be C-Section.  

2) To counter act all of the above the doctor just came and started her on a Pitocin Drip.  This should intensify the contractions and hopefully push Natalie to a Positive Station.

Keep Courtnie in your prayers....She really doesn't wanna have a C-Section but knows it might happen.
