in labor!

I woke up around 11am to some trickles down my leg and thought I was just peeing myself. Then I realized that the trickles kept coming and going as the day went on. I went to L and D where they tested my fluid and it turned up positive for amniotic fluid. That was around 4pm. I've since been induced with pitocen, which was steadily increased for six hours. When it started I was 1 and 1/2 centimeters dilated and less than 50% effaced. Over the first six hours, I only dilated to 2cm and about 50% effaced, so I gave in to the epidural to ease the process and loosen up. Its now around 3am, and I'm dilated 4cm and 70% effaced. Steady contractions, but I don't really feel the pain, just the movement and some tightening. Hopefully my baby will be born soon...
