The doctor calls the room after the nurse leaves. She talks to my husband. He hangs up the phone and looks at me. He tell me that the doctor is on her way back to the hospital. He nods sadly and I start to cry.
Nurses start swarming.
The anesthesiologist comes back and administers the full dose epidural, I'm shaved, prepped and everyone is waiting for the doctor to show. I'm terrified and shaking and even the anesthesiologist is trying to reassure me. The doctor comes back in. She sighs and tells me that she doesn't know what else to do at this point. That we can't just keep going like this because she's worried the baby's going to crash.
