I said I didn't want to write update number four, but at least there is light at the end of the tunnel with this one. When Iain and I returned to the hospital this afternoon for the fifth installment of cervix thinner, I was ready for a better solution. We are both tired and a bit mentally drained from the anticipation and the disappointment. When the doctor came in, he checked me out and there was no progress. He gave me one more dose of the stuff and said that he had me booked in for a C-section tomorrow morning.
I am now ten days overdue, nothing is progressing, the baby is not where it is supposed to be and I am tired, so I am okay with the C-section. Plus I am not exactly saddened by the thought of not experiencing labour-my hoo hoo has had enough fun in the last few days as it is.
So, I have to be at the DECH at 8AM and as long as there are not any emergencies, I should have my baby by lunch!
Keep posted for the pics and hope that I am not the 1:100 000 who gets paralyzed from the spinal block ( a little paranoid pregnancy humour for you).
