Late D-Cells

For a while recently, Carolyn was having what they were calling “late decells”. Meaning that baby’s heart rate was dropping (decellerating) 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.
