You weren't far off.. we were getting ready to leave and she felt a tightness that might have been a contraction. They put a monitor on her for half an hour and decided she needs to stay in, and it looks like they'll be doing the c-section tonight now! What a rollercoaster day. Trying to recapture the happy positive vibe we had at 8am this morning now...
Hope it goes well. It's a game changer for all the right reasons ?
Let's hope it's in "Things that gladden the heart"! Second favourite would be here, perhaps a mention of champaign in "What are you drinking tonight", outside chances "Laughter the best medicine" and very long odds on "I played today".
She still wants the section. It's just a matter of when they allow us to go for one. As you say it now has to be an emergency rather than the planned one we were meant to have.
Having not been spoken to for two hours they did a shift change, a new midwife comes in and says they won't do the C section now in the night. The contractions have slowed down so they may have been Braxton Hicks. Now looks like we're back to tomorrow morning, and I'll have to go home while she stays in the hospital overnight. What a mental day. C section was meant to be easy. ?
Elective C-section, the baby's not supposed to arrive on her own time, lol. Anyway, they let us both go home in the end. Back tomorrow morning for take 2 and hopefully it goes as planned this time.
