END OF MY TETHERRRRRRRR


Well, I am so over it. I have been over it for weeks now as every pregnant woman is at this stage in pregnancy. I went for an induction on Wednesday night (12th of March). Had two doses of prostin gel, but nothing happened!! :( Well I am a little dilated from it and cervix has effaced. Which is good news but no BABY!! I was in the pain of early labour but nothing really happened for me. BUT on Friday morning, I did have my bloody show. YAY. That is some good news. It means that hopefully I am dilating and that bubs is not far away. Right now I am having some contractions but that could be from the nipple stimulation I have been doing.

My butt is so bruised from that nasty midwife who gave me a pethidine and anti histamine injection. She felt the need to press very hard with an alcohol swab AFTER I had the injection. OUCH. My ribs hurt so much right now. I feel like I can't take this much longer. Of course my obstetrician is off this weekend. So if I did go into labour, I will have a complete stranger delivering my baby. I rang the hospital before and asked if I could try another go at induction as I am on the edge of insanity. Of course the response was "It is unprofessional to interfere with another doctors work. You will have to suffer until Monday when you see your own doctor." ARGH. What work?? I am doing all the work here!! I love my obstetrician but all she has done is give me some meds to bring on labour that didn't work and send me home. I was the one yelping in pain. MEhhh. Anyways. Lets just hope that this baby decides to come before I lose the plot!!
