Baby Update

Hi

Update on baby situation. Well, due date of Friday has come and gone, and we are now 9 days overdue.

The policy at the Norfolk and Norwich is that on average, a woman must be induced at 10 days. However Emma has convinced the senior consultant to let it go to 14 days. This primarily is because (a) she wants to spontaneously labour and (b) there is no real danger going to 14 days.

This week Emma will go in for monitoring Monday and Wednesday where fetal heart rate and movements are taken. Mostly bog standard observations. And if by Friday nothing has happened then she will have her waters broke.

As an aside, she is already 2cm dliated which is apparently a good sign, that was Friday. So prayers and fingers crossed we might see something happen before then. Max was late by 12 days and arrived on the 13th overdue date.
