My ob told me to take this to the hospital for my induction on thurs. I'm trying to figure out why it says nothing about pitocin as I was assuming that was going to be the induction method.
All I can decipher is:
"Admit l+d 4/14 7:30
Lr 125? (What is LR?)
(Can't read)
Epidural >3cm???"

@iluvboba637: I think it's lactated ringers at a rate of 125ml/hr
the epidural says 3cm prn which is as needed

Terrible handwriting because we have to write as fast as we can to get to the next task! My signature is a pathetic squiggle at this point. Thank goodness for electronic medical records! handwritten orders can be a terrible safety hazard as you can see

No idea. And if LR is lacerated ringer like gotkimchi said, I googled and can't understand why it says that either.

@gotkimchi: LR @ 125 is the fluids you'll receive during labor (which will keep your line open to run the pit/oxytocin). And it looks like you can get your epidural any time after you're 3cm. Nubain can be given for pain control every 2hrs as needed as well.
Good luck!!

@iluvboba637: oh no! Don't worry. It's a totally true statement. Not offended at all. I'm jealous of nice neat handwriting but the messy/terrible doctor handwriting is a true stereotype!
