Foreign Perspectives

We had our hospital run at 2am Saturday morning. Not recommended and I’ve still not recovered from it!

Things were coming along nicely ’til the genius of a midwife gave Wendy some morphine for the pain (they don’t do the “gas and air” thing in France) which managed to stop the pain and everything else too.

Umteen transfers between the bedroom (very nice private room, courtesy of the French government) and the pre-labour room for monitoring (that gadget that they hook you up to which measures the baby’s heart rate and the pressure ie contractions) and Wendy was thoroughly fed-up & sore with all the poking around inside (she’s 3cm and has been since 2am Saturday) so we went home around 10pm. Just as well really as nothing further has happened. She figures sometime this week for sure.
