Bruky's little angel, Katie Jayne has arrived!

Bruky had a baby girl this afternoon! Katie Jayne born at 3.37pm, super fast labour, no drugs, no tearing, baby weighed 8lb 9oz and both Mum and bub are doing well.
Well done Bruky!

I, on the other hand, am still waiting. I tried the Castor Oil last night, it didnt work (obviously!). I had an appointment this morning, CTG was fine, no contractions. Ultrasound showed Ben to be fine, the placenta is aging (as it does when you are over). But thats normal. Everything else is ok.

I have to have a CTG on Sunday at the local Gyno (not my Gyno), who does after hours. Then I have to go to the hospital on Monday to be put on a drip, to start contractions. My Obs said that i might be told to go home, or they might want me to stay, depending on how Ben reacts to the contractions.

IF i go home, then i have to return on Tuesday to my Obs... and then will be booked into the hospital on Thursday to be properly induced. On Thursday i will be 10 days overdue.

This is all so scary for me. I somehow feel like Ive failed. I KNOW its normal to go overdue... But i just hate being in this position, waiting waiting waiting. All these medical things are happening, and i feel like i have no control over anything. Im so glad i have done my reading, and researched everything... But being in a country where i feel lost and confused half the time just doubles my anxiety. Its just awful not being able to understand 100% of what is said to me.

Well, enough of that. How are you other ladies going? Or have you left me all alone in the world of "over 40's?"
