 Topic: It’s the final countdown!
Posted: 25 September 2006 at 3:29pm |
*cue Europe music*
So ok there has been lots of speculation about where I've been...B had the day off today and we toddled up to Orewa and enjoyed lunch at a Mexican cafe sitting in the sun and relishing one of our last times together as a couple.
Also indulged in a little more shopping at Mama Mia's...darn Tracy and her gorgeous little baby outfits!
We decided it would be nice to take some time out just the two of us before letting everyone know our updated situation.
We have now been booked for an induction at 7.30pm on Thursday night and little miss stubborn will be coming on out here whether she likes it or not!!
I had an appointment with Monique this morning and Maddie is still stubbornly sitting at D1 though Monique did have a better shot at doing a cervical sweep. It caused a bit of a show but nothing to really get excited about...more to do with someone poking me up the fufu than any great desire on Maddie's part to move!! 
She then managed to get me into the hospital for assessment so we went in there just after 10.00 and I got checked out by the doctor in there who then booked the induction.
Maddie is doing great and appears as healthy as an ox and very comfy! But they have said that considering her size and my size and the suspected mild gestational diabetes, it's time for her to be forcibly evicted. Unfortunately Thursday is the earliest they could do but it is very nice to have the end in sight!!
We're still hoping she'll appear on her own but one way or another by the end of the week we'll finally be holding our little princess!
I'm just hoping the induction works and that I can deliver naturally without having a c-section. Fingers crossed!

Hey Paws, any reason for the induction being at night time?
Hopefully Maddie decides to come before Thursday for you

sometimes they do inductions at night cos that way, if nothing happens they have you there and just give you the next dose at 7am the next morning..

Must vary I guess from doctor/midwife to doctor/midwife, because I was in at 7.30 am!! I had 2 lots of gel administered so that was my lot for the day. Ended up emergency CS anyway!

i had one at lunch time and gabriel was in the morning, oh two in the morning cause they tried twice with toby.
paws be prepared to spend the night in hospital with nothing happening on thurs then ... i know with mine they wanted me to go to sleep at night so if i went into labour i had some sleep in me - i wanted to stay up and keep walking and bring it on. (result - fight with midwife who i screamed at not to touch me.) but i did both without a c section...
so good luck - and i'll send you some labour vibes, not sure how good they be tho seeing as i dont seem to go into labour naturally myself.
