The nurses have to go by the orders that are written (hence the fact I demanded to speak with the midwife). In fact, things are not as set in stone as a written order. It turns out, things are flexible after all. The doctor and midwives came up with a plan based on the fact that the doctors would be back in the office on Monday, as well as the weather. The roads are now fine... and I let her know that the doctor's schedule was NOT something that I factor in to my plan.
I will stay off the procardia today and tonight, see what happens tonight, and then if nothing happens I could go home tomorrow or stay if I want to see if I progress. They might check me before I leave, but if I'm not having active labor contractions, that is my call. If I'm not in active labor, I think I would rather them not check me and let me just go home until labor begins.
So... I'm off bedrest and I'm free to mosey around the hospital room (is there somewhere to mosey in here?) and there is the potential for me to go home if nothing exciting happens. I am well aware that I could go home and then be right back here... but it would be well worth a couple hours in my own house! You never know... I could go home and end up trucking along another week or so. It could happen, but I'm not trucking along another week in this bed!
Now, it's all up to Olive. Is she really ready to come now... or was she just bluffing and is perfectly comfy in there for a little while longer?
