I'm getting uncomfortable contractions but still breathing and talking through them normally. Pitocin is at set at 10. Nurse said she'll keep it at 10 since my contractions on the monitor seem regular. I was able to sleep for about 1 hr and a half.

@bluestriped bee: Sounds great! Have you been checked lately? Are you allowed to walk around? I hope things keep going well!

So they just checked me and I'm at 6 cm and I'm still talking and breathing normally through the contractions. They said I'm handling the pitocin really well and that if I was having one baby that I could possibly deliver without an epidural. I will probably get the epidural so I don't miss the window. (For my records, it is 5pm PST now and I started the pitocin at noon. Took a 1.5-2 hr nap around 2pm and woke up around 4pm with uncomfortable contractions but able to talk and breath through them. I was checked at around 5pm and I'm at 6cm.)
@twodoghouse: They said that if I want to walk around I can. I'm still play in bed for now.

@bluestriped bee: I'm impressed! I was at a 6 when I got to the hospital, and I was NOT talking through them! And I wasn't on pitocin. Hope it keeps going well!

So spoke to the Dr and she thinks I should get the epidural soon so I don't miss the window to get it. They think I'll have the epidural in by 6pm EST.
We are making guesses. I said we'll have the babies at 11:07p. DH said 10:24p. Doula says 11:22p.
