What dose AM and PM stand for when you tell time?

Answer 1

AM” stands for the Latin phrase Ante Meridiem —which means “before noon”—and “PM” stands for Post Meridiem : “after noon.” Although digital clocks routinely label noon “12:00 PM” you should avoid this expression not only because it is incorrect, but because many people will imagine you are talking about midnight instead. The same goes for “12:00 AM.” Just say or write “noon” or “midnight” when you mean those precise times

Is this your first baby? Do you know whether you're dilated at all? It can take a while for the meds to work. I was induced with my first 3 years ago and it went better than expected. After my childbirth prep class, I had these ideas of walking, stretching, moving around at home first. So I was a little disappointed that when my daughter was 1 week late, my OB induced due to size (she ended up being 8 pounds 2 oz!). I was not dilated at all, so they applied the Cervidil gel to my cervix around 9 pm on a Thursday. I think they put the IV and monitoring stuff on right away, as I remember that I couldn't leave my bedside more than 1 foot or two. I think I started feeling contractions around 11 or so, right as DH was falling asleep in the hospital room. We labored all night. It was painful, like ten times the pain of the worst cramps of your life. We slow danced, I stood next to the bed and leaned over it, he applied those instant heat packs, I sat on my birthing ball, and somehow made it through about 8 or 9 hours. When my dilation stalled, they started me on pitocin in the morning. Around noon, I asked for an epidural as I was physically exhausted. I then slept about 2 hours before active labor began. My daughter was born about 18 hours after the cervidil was applied. The thing is, my epidural was so strong, I couldn't feel a thing. They told me when to push but I couldn't tell I was pushing. Fortunately, I pushed for about 45 minutes and my daughter was delivered without any complications. There are certainly risks and disadvantages to an induction, but for some women the biggest benefit is the convenience of scheduling an induction, as there isn't that frantic dash to the hospital. I'm asking my OB if she can induce me again this time, as I'm now 38 weeks along... Good luck to you and hope your labor and delivery go well! Edited to add: every woman's childbirth experience and induction experience probably varies, but I want to add that no forceps or vacuum assistance were needed for my delivery, so I'm not sure I agree with Katie that it's "almost impossible" to give birth while on your back. My hospital's labor and delivery suite had an adjustable bed so I could be propped more upright in the bed, like I was sitting rather than flat on my back. Yes, I would have preferred to have been able to walk around without all the monitoring, but the increased risk to your baby means you do need to be connected to all that stuff. I also immediately started breastfeeding and was able to have a very successful nursing relationship for over a year, so the pitocin had no effect on that aspect of my delivery.
