I can't get no sleep
In the words of that faithless song... I can't get no sleep! I'm always struggled with periods of insomnia but this one is badly timed! I'm now worried I won't have the energy to actually give birth as I have barely slept for weeks! I'm managing two hours of broken sleep at a time. I would seriously get more sleep with a newborn! It's 5am, I'm due to be induced in 28 hours, please pray for me to fit 8 hours in somewhere!
Eight days over due
So it seems my darling child is very comfy in my tummy! Which means that on Wednesday if she hasn't made her grand appearance, I will be induced.
If I'm honest, the thought of being induced horrifies me. I won't get the water birth I'd like and it's likely to take about 24 hours to start off (boring) be a lot more intense and painful and more likely to end in an emergency c section. In an ideal world, I will go into labour naturally, stay at home until it gets too much, jump into the pool at the birthing centre at the hospital and just use gas and air.
If I'm honest, I feel as though my body is failing me. Going into labour is the most natural and womanly thing in the world... It's hard not doing so... Trying my best to focus on the fact that I've managed to grow a perfect baby in my tummy to well over full term. But illa admit, it's not easy.
Come soon miss Young, I promise that me and daddy will look after you forever.
