Honestly it makes me feel better that your doctors seem so chill. I also have a big baby and just had covid and mine were all freaked out, so when they delayed the induction part of me was feeling nervous that something could go wrong, but now I’m thinking they were probably just overreacting.Hi!
just been to the midwife for my delayed check. So 40’weeks today.
she refused to check my cervix, refused to do a sweep (which is now booked for 17th), wouldn’t discuss indiction. All she did was listen to baby and measure me: still measuring absolutely huge. If measurements of my bump are right I’m on the 97th line and baby will be 9lb4 already. However every growth scan has tracked the 50th line making her 8lb4 ish. Either way midwife didn’t seem the least bit interested. Nor did she care that I am just recovering from covid, super anxious, or have been having cramping/mild contractions all day.
All I was left with was “baby’s head isn’t engaged at all, it’s on the brim of your pelvis”. Great, thanks. Glad I bothered
regardless of this I AM getting mild contractions or strong cramping every 10-15 mins so I’m hoping things get moving in the next 24hrs
Well, was up half the night having contractions, some quite painful, but they were never regular. I had a lot of general cramping and lower back pain with some spotting as well. Started to have some small pieces of bloody show around 8 pm which continued throughout the night. Then around 5 am woke up feeling nauseas, went to the toilet, and had a pretty big bloody show. Since then some small pieces on and off but contractions seem to have completely stopped. I’m hoping once I’m up and moving around for the day something will get going again.
@kmpreston Sounds like the start of something! Do you know how long over they are recommending you go?
I had 2 hours of contractions this afternoon 8 minutes apart. Not too strong but definitely contractions and not bh. Took a nap and they stopped. I feel like every time I sleep for a bit she pops out of my pelvis, so maybe the problem is that she’s not well engaged?
