I’ve just nipped back home after spending the day with Claire at the hospital and I’m afraid there is still no major news!

The unit ended up being really busy overnight so Claire didn’t get her second dose of Prostaglandin until 11:30. This bought on contractions every 5 minutes or so after a while and these were still going on when I left at 17:45 to grab some dinner. Claire is getting checked again at 19:00 and at that point they’ll decide whether to break her waters (in which case I’ll be off back to the hospital) or whether they’ll just give another dose of Prostaglandin in which case I’ll probably be waiting for a phonecall. Fingers crossed things will get underway tonight though!

Update

They couldn’t break her waters so Claire has had another dose of the Prostaglandin. Hopefully that’ll really get things moving, even if it does mean a phonecall in the early hours of the morning :)
