| I am SOOO excited! Just got back from the OB and she's booked me in for an induction on Aug 29! I was kind of tired and out of it, so I didn't really respond much, only to ask if that was the absolute soonest. She replied it was only 10 days away! But it still didn't click until I asked Steve what he was doing on Aug 29, he didn't say much more than a grunt, until I got all teared eyed and asked him if he fancied having a baby that day! The reality that it is ONLY 10 days away hit me!! YIKES! Although having checked me over so to speak, she's not sure I'll hold out that long, but I bloody hope so! My other two daughters were natural all the way, no intervention, no pain relief, nada. And I'm keen for number 3 to be different. I want to know the date/time, who is delivering me, and I want PAIN RELIEF. I want to sip on a chilled glass of Dom Perignon and talk about the weather while being told to push out the little blighter with minimal effort! As opposed to swearing like a whore and begging for death! We have to be there at 8am and the OB warned that with my history and current 'state' it wouldn't take long at all! How exciting! I'm sure come 11pm tonight, I'll be sobbing like a baby, terrified! But being as someone that needs control all the time, this 'booking' in for a baby really suits me. Its so new age! Maybe I can get a tummy tuck while I'm in there! So, fingers crossed that I don't drop before then! I'm seeing the OB again on the 25 Aug, so she can make sure I'm not likely to pop before. This is what I've paid for! YAY! The beauty of private healthcare! |
