For a while recently, Carolyn was having what they were calling “late decells”. Meaning that baby’s heart rate was dropping (_decel_lerating) during the late part of contractions. This apparently means that baby is not tolerating the contractions well — not getting enough oxygen during them so the heart rate declines. So, at the moment, the pit is off, Carolyn’s on oxygen and resting. I’m going to see if I can cat nap too. But Carolyn has been told she’s had her last sip of water, in case of emminent surgery.
