It’s really just a waiting game.\u00a0 There is a chance that they will send me home tomorrow – that depends on how far the dilation has progressed.\u00a0\u00a0 They’ll check again in the morning. Part of me is excited at the prospect of going home to wait out the rest of my pregnancy, and part of me is terrified.\u00a0 I like knowing that the experts are just a button push away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
