So for the good news: 10.2 and homebirth is a go.
But we don’t want to give you that! It’s double or nothing in the Overdue Sweepstakes. You’ve got your homebirth but for a limited time only (did we mention that this offer runs out on Wednesday?), your baby is now posterior (crap position for labour) and your cervix is no more ready than the man in the moon?
Excellent. Ya think God is trying to address a few control issues?
Faith and trust start to feel bloody hard when you are staring down the barrel of induction. I’m sure others find comfort at times like this in the words of theologians, poets or perhaps even the bible. My current source of comfort is a little less highbrow – it’s Dory the blue fish from Finding Nemo. She can’t remember more than 7 seconds of what happens to her, doesn’t have the capacity to anticpate the problems that lie ahead and is accompanied by Marlin, the worlds most anxious clown fish. So what’s her motto? ‘Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming’. That’s pretty much what I aspire to right now, to not have to be 5 steps ahead with solutions for every scenario or caught in a endless loop of what ifs but to keep in the present dealing with the now and just keep going.
It’s going to take a lot of prayer.
