Ivy's doctor had Ivy admitted to the hospital today. All the tests show that she has high blood pressure, low platelet count and high uric acid levels. Bottom line is the doctor thinks that it's best to have the baby induced.
We're trying to avoid a cesarean as much as possible. So the doctor inserted a catheter into the cervix to hopefully start it dilating to 3 cm. At the same time Ivy is on pitocin to start the contractions. If nothing happens at midnight, the pitocin will stop and we will continue at 6am tomorrow.
If everything goes well baby will arrive 7/8/08. Missed it by one month.
