So I'm home, it's late and I need to go to sleep to ready myself for tomorrow. But first, a blog.
Today felt like it went by really quickly, but very slowly at the same time. Not a lot happened, really. A midwife used a pessary tablet, which will be left to do its thing for 24 hours. During the day we went on several walks around the hospital and grounds to try and stir things into action, to no avail. There were a few tightenings, but they seemed like nothing out of the ordinary.
At half past eight, I begrudgingly left my wife, only to be texted and told that the partners of the other pregnant women had stayed for up to an extra hour. Great. I don't want to be apart from my wife, and it turns out I could have stayed a little longer.
During the past hour, however, I've been texting back and forth with my wife. She's getting contractions. They may be part of the latent stage of labour and would mean that she's not going to be giving birth in the next few hours. Even though I'm going to sleep now, I'm on high alert.
Apologies if this post is badly written, too. I'm rather tired and wanted to give a quick update. I'll write better tomorrow. promise.
