The doctor came in at about 11 pm and put in cervadil to induce labour. She said that they would monitor Silvina for about an hour, and then we would go into the labour room.
We were waiting there about a half an hour when a nurse came in and put the monitor on Silvina. I noticed that the baby heartbeat monitor was fluctuating around seventy. The nurse was frantically moving it around and pressed the button to call the doctor. Not knowing any better, I thought that maybe when the baby's heartbeat comes down to around our level, it's ready to come out. So I was getting pretty excited.
The doctor came in and I think she pulled out the cervadil. She measured Silvina to be about 1 cm dilated, and the baby's heartbeat went back to the 130 to 160 level. That was at about 11:40pm.
There was no more excitement that day, and at about 12:15am on Thursday we were moved to the labour room.
