Scary ambien story:
Bree (my wife) was in labor with our daughter, and the contractions were killing her. So, the nurses, without bothering to check how dilated she was, gave her an Ambien to help her sleep.
The problem was, once the pill started to kick in, they got concerned about how much pain she was in and, oops, she was at 10 cm and her body was pushing the baby.
Now, Bree has an amazing drug tolerance, so the Ambien made her drowsy and completely out of it, but didnt knock her out. So she is GIVING BIRTH half asleep and damn near hallucinating. to this day she is pissed that she was messed up like that when Lily was born because she can barely remember it and she so badly wanted to be completely aware when her baby came out.
So in her case it worked like a couple of shots of vodka rather than a sleep aid.
