This week has been pretty much uneventful, we're sure that's going to change some time soon but one can't help feeling slightly deflated when all your plans are complete and all you have to do is wait for mother nature to do her stuff: true to form she doesn't.
That said we are staying relaxed at home doing all the things we won't be doing when he finally makes it. The Playstation is on overdrive, I can't remember how many times I've heard 'Uno' and we've seen nearly as much of Lumpini Park as King Rama IV's statue.
Dtock went to the hospital yesterday, from what I can gather her cervix has opened one centimetre and they gave her a membrane sweep which is carried out to encourage or hasten the birth.
I find this slightly concerning as it was only a couple of weeks ago when she had some kind of, I assume, bacterial discharge looked at and cleared up. It's not as if she was even given a choice to have the membrane sweep which certainly wouldn't be the case in the west. I just read this article which put paid to my concerns http://www.obgmanagement.com/article_pages.asp?AID=4374
Obviously I know barely anything about this subject and I am translating everything from Dtock, this is the start of the rest of my life of parental worry, I choose this moment to apologise emphatically to my parents, sorry!
On a positive note I know she's attending the most renowned obstetric department in Thailand so we can only put our faith in the staff there and hope they know what they are doing. But then again my faith in Thai capability in any field is limited at best. Even in those fields I know nothing about.
