Wow, can this really go on like this???? We are now a full 14 days late, have had 6 Induction gel deployments (Prostin), and while poor Vicky is in incredible contraction pain for a couple of hours post prostin, we are still only 1cm dilated and not close enough to progress into delivery.  Apparently Elliot’s head is now not close enough to the cervix and so is not having the same effect on the internal side to the cervix that the induction gel is doing on the outside.  The midwives seem convinced of the fact that we are just around the corner but we get the feeling that it has been a long time since someone has required 6 prostin deployments to kick start labour.

More as it happens……
