After a laborious 9 hours, a life-saving epidural and 3 posicles (2 graphe, one cherry) the Toughest Woman Alive has finally reached 9 cm of dilation. The goal of the whole game is to get to 10 and then the fun part happens. The Doctor said that out of 11 patients in the ward today, Shirley is the only one cooperating.
The Good News couldn't have come at a better time since I think Shirley was starting to lose a little bit of hope.
The doctor said he'd come back at 1900, check again and we'd probably start the Push.
I just have to say that my theory about dilation not being linearly related to time has proven true yet again. It took 4 hours to go from 2-4 and only 3 to get from 4-9. Explaining the nuance of exponential relationships to a laboring woman, however, not a Good Idea.
