I walked into a shop today and bumped into my OHs cousin. He immediately looked at me said "oh my god" (at the size of me)men are so clueless!!
Induction at 7am in the morning. Had another sweep done this morning, baby is still a bit high. The midwife says it puts me at higher risk of a section. So I'm bouncing bouncing on the ball trying to get her down!!
Good luck, ready2Bmum! Will be looking out for your announcement .

Here is my birth story:
I lost my mucus plug late Friday night, and another chunk came out on Saturday morning. I was having contractions Saturday morning but they felt like my normal irritable uterus contractions. The main difference was I felt pain in my butt during most of the contractions I felt fine enough that DD and I cleaned house Saturday morning and ran errands Saturday afternoon. DH got home from work and we settled in to watch a movie with DD. I felt extremely tired so wound up falling asleep for a couple of hours. I woke up around 4:30pm feeling fine. At 5:45pm I was sitting on the couch and felt a painful pop in my bump. I got up and saw that it was my waters. We called my parents to come stay with DD, and got the last of our hospital bags packed and loaded into the van. We weren't in a rush because labor with dd was 12 hours and I wasn't feeling painful contractions. We left for the hospital (a 30 min drive) about 6:15pm and I started having painful contractions on the highway. I was admitted to the hospital at 6:50pm where they checked me and said I was 5cm and 100% effaced. I was told I could have the epidural anytime. I was in pain, but not a lot so I waited. Within 15 minutes I was in the most extreme pain of my entire life, and I asked for the epidural. By the time the anesthesiologist came into the room I was having double contractions with no breaks in between. Getting the epidural ready seemed to take forever and I was in so much pain I was afraid of moving while they put in the needle. They finally got the needle in and ready to go and the nurse said she would check my cervix before they did the test run of pain medicine. Turns out I was 10 cm and ready to push. The dr. wasn't even on his way yet, because things went so fast, so they said I could wait to push until he got there in 15 minutes. Finally the epidural kicked in and although I felt like I wanted to push really really bad, the pain was bearable. When the dr. came into the room they put my feet up into the holsters and Vayda was crowning. I pushed 3 times and she was out, it was 8:18pm. She weighed 7lbs 4oz. It was amazing, unlike my first daughter I got to hold Vayda right away all gooey and everything. She began rooting and I was able to breastfeed her right away. Even though my labor was intense and unexpected, it was so much better than having a long labor. I felt awake and rested once she was born and that was better for bonding. It was also a nice bonding experience for my husband and I, we've never taken birthing classes, but he was by my side the whole time coaching me through contractions and he did a great job. I did tear but only needed 3 stitches and so far my recovery has been easy. My older daughter is in love with her baby sister and I am feeling incredibly blessed.

Brit: glad to hear it went so smoothly and that you are both doing well
Suzy: congrats on your little girl arriving. Sorry to hear about the seizures
hope she gets better. Will be thinking of you!
AFM: Exactly 1 week till due date! Exciting, but I also know it doesn't mean too much, she could easily be in there another couple to few weeks. As of last appt no dilating or anything. Also no contractions, don't think I have ever even had BH this whole pregnancy, if I did I didn't notice? Only thing somewhat different is even more "wet" down there, no mucus plug yet though, and I feel pressure on my cervix, her head is probably really low which would also be why I have hemorrhoids... FX she comes soon so she gets lots of time with her daddy home for the holidays.

Due date tomorrow. My dad flies in too, and he's staying for the whole of Christmas up until mid January (to be able to be here for my second daughters birthday). Had my eldest daughters nativity play this morning, which I really didn't want to miss, so now that's done I'm giving Molly the official eviction notice. Get out little one, get out!
