Congrats Munch!!!!!!!!!!!!! A big, healthy boy!!

Daydream, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Sam, sorry that you're feeling icky. I'm the opposite when it comes to cars...no matter what aches, I just feel like I always want to be moving these days...

Bean - a christmas baby! Hope you can convince them otherwise if it's not what you want!!

Scooby, I'm only getting my cervix checked every 2 weeks, because last week there was no progress...

Also I just drank castor oil. I know a lot of women on here say not to, but I have nobody to DTD with so If nothing else, I really am constipated
How did the castor oil go? I've tried looking everywhere in euk for it and can't find it anywhere xxx

Just back from midwife. Saw different one today who totally contradicted what other has said and had depressed me. This one said I am only 1cm dilated not 1-2 like last weeks and didnt know how she got 2cm! Said cervix long still. Head was 2/5 engaged last week now he is -3 station so she wouldn't do the 3rd sweep as said if she broke waters the cord could prolapse. She said she thought I was miles off labour. I'm booked for induction in a week on 18th and she said to expect it to be a long process if things are still like this as they'll have to bring his head down and do a lot of ripening with pessaries before they can break waters. I am totally gutted. On Saturday I was told 1-2cm cervix very soft mushy and engaged. What can I do???! Am literally trying everything here, curry walking ball cleaning epo CSO nipple stimulation??

Aw toothfairy. Big hugs coming your way. Firstly, there are going to be differences of opinion so don't let that worry you. Secondly, I'm not sure that anyone can accurately predict when a baby is going to show up. Some people progress very slowly and others take a while to get going but then it all happens at once. There is nothing more you can do to speed this baby along. I would concentrate on doing things for yourself - get a manicure, go for a massage, watch a good film. I think distraction is the way forward. I'm thinking of you x
mummy_em - how frustrating. I hope you agree a good way forward today.

Now, TMI alert girls. I have definitely just lost my mucus plug. It was seriously the single most disgusting thing to have left my body! Here's a question though - is it supposed to smell? I know it's been in there for 9 months but the smell was stomach churning. I was nearly sick! Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks honey bee!

I lost my plug last Thursday and I know what you mean about it being disgusting. I flushes mine straight away to be honest as it shocked me a bit so dunno if it was smelly? I guess it could be as you said it's been in there months! Maybe ask your midwife though?

There's nothing really you can do, baby will come when its ready and not before, just try and relax and enjoy the last week of pregnancy. Xxx

I had a sweep this morning and have the next one booked for Friday, am so ready for this baby to come out now!
