the calm before the storm.

so it’s over 24 hours since the great outpour, and i’m still here, no contractions, leaks, anything… have been doing a bit of the googlé research and apparently, in the States, if there’s no sign of baby at this stage, then they perform an induction. rang hospital this morning and was told not to come in because they were too busy (ooh, public health, how i love thee) and to wait till after lunch (to have another CTG trace). apparently they won’t induce until three days post-rupture… which means that i’ve got till tomorrow morning to bring it on naturally.

the one thing i don’t get, right, is that i’m so damn calm about it all! perhaps it’s cos i’ve got a timeframe now. at least i can pretty confidently say i’ll either be in agony or ecstasy this time tomorrow, no matter what happens. that’s a nice thought.

  1. well hello! When I saw your comment on my blog - I thought it was all over!! Well - I agree with you. When I was waiting to be induced (with both of mine - Rowan was being induced 2weeks early because of low fluid - Ella was late as you know) I felt the same. Very calm. I thought - whatever happens this time next week - she’ll be here and it’ll all be over.
    Enjoy this part I would - relax. Try to put your feet up. Eat something mildly warming like a mild curry (worked for me ;) ) or more tortellini!! or don’t! Just be yourself and wait to be a mummy & daddy :)

    It’s so worth the wait {{hugs}}

    thinking of you lots and lots x
