I return.

had gone to get some fresh air. deliveries always make me sick.

I check her - 3 cm and -1 station. Great sign!

meera says - All this time and I'm only 3cm!. poor girl. her first baby.

I break her water with the crochet hook

her point of view - it felt warm and wet.

my point of view - lots of bloody mucous at first, then a stream of clear fluid.

Now she was having steady contractions. she looked very relaxed and will probably get some sleep now.

she needs to rest up.

for another few hours.
