- Hi Maam. Yes, I am on my morning shift and I will be assisting you for the next days. Dr. dela Cruz informed me to do internal examination first.
- Good morning Ms. sarah. you're still at 5cm dilated and your doctor prescribed Pitocin to induce you. Is this your first childbirth experience?
- Don't worry Ms. Sarah. This is a safe medical intervention. Some mother would say that it's more painful than unmedicated labor. Is it a boy or girl?
- she's very calm unlike other first time mom. Some would scream and cry.
- This nurse keeps on checking me unlike the one on night shift. She's very soft spoken as well.
- That's good to hear. It's a boy and a very big one.
- Yes, this is my first and definitely my last. Btw, will there be no serious side effects if I will be induced? Will it not affect my baby?
- You're 6cm dilated Ms. Sarah. We are almost there. I've never seen someone with their first childbirth who is as calm as you Maam.
