Well I arrived at the Maternity Assesment Ward yesterday afternoon for 2pm and I was kinda sent back home today at bout 9:30am. I was given the Cervadil overnight and it didn’t do very much. The head doctor for the Gestation Diabetes decided to pop in on me before we got the Syntocin started up and gave us her opinion on what lay ahead.

Basically she said if it was her choice, she wouldn’t go on to have the Syntocin yet. As chances are it will fail and then I will be forced to undergo a C Section. Which we really do not want. So I have been asked to come back into the hospital over the weekend to be monitored a couple of times and then to go back into the Maternity Assesment Ward again on Monday at 2pm and they will start all over again if need be……or hopefully my cervix will have ripened over the weekend enough to give them a chance to break my waters. And then continue the Induction from there.

I came home pretty despondent and sore and completely shattered physically and emotionally. I was very stressed. But we realise the benefits of the body doing it’s own thing, over being forced via man made hormones. And the risks of a C section are still there….but by then we wont have the option anymore. But for now we do. So it’s back home to feet rubbing and relaxing as much as is possible till then.
