Gave her a sleeping pill.
They hadn't started induction yet that was to be in the morning. What the sleeping pill did for her was relax her enough so that she could go into labor the doctor said. I'm the 4th child. My sister was 5 1/2 yrs, brothers were 3 yrs 2 months and 22 months to the day older than me. Plus they were probably about an hour from the hospital. He figures she went into labor on her own because being in the hospital, the sleeping pill and all ready being prep for birth (they use to shave you down there - they don't now do they) she finally relaxed and nature took its course. She went into labor around 9 pm and I was born at 1:10 am. She was so relaxed I was the fast labor and easiest she ever had. Maybe that should tell the doctors something. If they could find a way to really help their patients to relax then maybe their labor would be easier.
