I'm trying to read my records from my delivery and am unfamiliar with some abbreviation.

What is TOCO and FTP?
And what a surprise, I can't read the OB's writing. I am trying to read a word, "rostrepeopil" ??? I was on Pitocin at the time and the sentence reads, " If no progress in AM may need ....."whatever that says.
TIA!
