Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

Forums New posts
Well our baby girl Molly made her entrance at 8pm 2nd November!
I've had about 2 hours sleep after a wonderful (all be it painful!) natural homebirth :)
It's lovely to be in our own bed and as a family already, all my babies (DS, daddy and Molly) are snoozing <3
Secret on FB at the mo until the morning :haha:
Labour :dust: to all xx
 
Omg congrats teacup! Brilliant news. I'm only came on bnb to check if you had your baby yet and I'm so pleased. Love her name too. Congratulations xx
 
Congrats, Teacup!

Baby Thomas Daniel was born at 19:04 last night, in a pool in our front room, weighing 7lb 12oz after an hour's breastfeed. No vaginal examinations (midwife turned up as I was pushing), cord not cut for nearly 2 hours. A completely empowering, gentle (yet quick and powerful) birth. Not a thing I'd change! (And I thoroughly recommend sniffing neat clary sage on a flannel/washcloth!)
 
Congrats teacup and manda, can't wait for pics xx
 
Wow..the babies are rolling in now...congrats everyone!!
 
Yay! Congrats teacup and manda. No one posted either, bubsmom had her little boy on halloween! So many babies!

:) .how many babies is that now ? Agree with the page update :) congrats ladies xx only ten more days for me yay <3
 
Lots of babies coming there is hope for me lol.

I went to the doc today and she said my blood pressure is up a little bit and that she wants me to come in Thursday and get it checked again if it is still up she's going to induce. A lot of you ladies said you don't want induction is there a reason for that? I have never really looked into it so I don't know what to expect. She was going to do a sweep today but I have a double ear infection and she said that she would rather wait until it feels a little better. She also said she's going on vacation next week so it seems like she wants me to have it sometime this week.
 
I don't want to be induced because I want a natural birth, no synthetic oxytocin/pitocin and several of the ladies I know who have been induced had major complications from it like hemorrhaging and almost bleeding out. so I'd rather let him overcook a little than be induced but that's just me!
 
That makes me nervous! I think when I go to work tonight I am going to have to walk non stop and hope to kick start labour :)
 
My reason for not wanting induction is because I love the excuted dash to the hospital. Induction does mean a greater risk of c section or instrumental delivery, but if the dr advises its best to maje an informened decision and be safe , simetimes baby is better out than in. I have my scan tommorow so wil see what they say.
 
Induction can be more painful and lead to more interventions, making it often the riskier option. Babies come when they're ready. So, even if it is recommended, it's worth discussing (and researching for yourself) the benefits, risks, alternatives, and what your instincts say once you have this info. Sometimes an induction is the best option, but I wouldn't let someone decide that for me and certainly not to fit into their schedule.
 
I had my 39 wk midwife appt today, everything appears to be on track. And she is booking my induction which is 40+12 for 23rd Nov... so we're on a countdown now - I really would like to start naturally! Im ready to get this labour show on the road...
My parents arrive on the 24th Nov from New Zealand for the first time they are visiting us in Scotland and hopefully meeting their newest grandchild. If I get induced we may have to get someone else to collect them from the airport! hehe.
My husbands birthday is on the 25th Nov... I'll be 42 weeks then.
I'm easing into my mat leave, finished work on Friday. Managed to cook dinner for husband each night so far and made some extra for the freezer. Wet cold and rainy here ready for winter. I'm glad I'm inside cosy. Taking each day, relaxing, getting jobs done slowly each day something planned to be achieved. Todays job is get some more of an assignment done.. maybe reading some books will scare the baby out... hehe

I'm loving the fact that my LO is growing away happily. I am not ill, baby is not suffering and I want a homebirth, so if I opted for induction I wouldn't get a homebirth.

good luck! that induction is still a while away and well past your due date. I hope and pray you go into labor naturally before then! No one wants to cook THAT long anyway...LOL <3
 
Still no signs. really hoping for a surprise labour but not getting my hopes up.

Got midwife tomorrow who will check and see if she can do a sweep, hopefully they'll be able to, she'll also book me in for an induction around 15th November.

Seems like ages, so hoping that baby decides to go for labour natural x
 
I had my next growth scan and apparently baby has out on 2kb in 6 day's unlikely if you ask me so glad I didnt get rushed into induction.
