Yay abs!! So exciting

Jade- The first tablet never worked for me either (I've been induced twice) But after the second, things started fast! I hope this is the case for you. Fingers crossed xxx

I can't believe all this action on the first day of August! It gives me hope that I will go soon too .

Good luck to all you ladies, can't wait to read the updates!

Good luck Abs,

Jade hope things get moving soon.

Ive had my consultant appointment today and it wasnt great! I hate to moan but im so scared of going through the same ending as I did with Olivia and it seems like thats the way its going to go.

After my last consultant appointment i felt much better about things but this one has brought me right back down again and those memories of the end of my pregnancy with Olivia have come flooding back.. My last appointment was with a dr under the consultant and this one was with the consultant herself.

Ill start with the positive, the consultant has gone against the MWs and has said that she dosent think the baby is a big baby at all. She confirmed again that LO wasnt engaged which I knew any way.

I have opted for VBAC over an elective c-section but she now dosent want to see me for 4 weeks, because its a bank holiday Monday the clinic is closed and therefore I now have to wait 4.5 weeks and go up to L&D to see her. She hasnt said that this will be an induction day either, just for the usual examination and at my last appointment they had said they would start sweeps at 40 weeks which obviously isnt going to happen until im almost 42 weeks.

I dont have much faith in going into labor, i know every pregnancy is different but I just have that feeling that it just isnt going to happen again, I had 5 attempts at induction with Olivia all of which failed and I was taken for an emcs at 42+1, I never responded to being induced at all.

I feel totally fed up, so my next apt is 31st August, guess i'll be having a september baby. (sorry I sound like a brat but im so uncomfortable i was just wanting an end in sight and I havent got one)

I dunno if its hormones but all ive done since ive got back is cry

COngrats Mummy L, welcome Darcie, the 1st official Aug baby xxx

Aw Stef can't you see someone else in the meantime and ask for a sweep? 4wks is a LONG time to wait between apts at this stage!

 

[Jodie.82]

good luck everyone with their LO´s on the way

aw stef, do they know why you didnt go into labour with DD? were your dates wrong at all and maybe she just wasnt ready? I can understand your frustration thats a long time to wait

we went for a scan today with the MW there and baby is head down thank god! but not engaged anymore as I knew from the fact that I can walk again without all the pain I had before ..she said I need to go back to my 2 hours walking in the mountains or town every day! get baby enagaged! the cord was around the babys neck once which really worried me, but MW said 1 in 4 of her births are like that and its not a problem for her at all now that she knows

 

[Stef]

Jodie, they have no idea why I didnt go into labor and why after 5 attempts at induction it wasn't successful either

tjw - I see my midwife next Tuesday at 38 weeks so going to mention it to her then, the 31st is my next consultant appointment, I have to have my bloods taken at 39 weeks as my iron was low so they put me on iron tablets so im going to make sure she will see me the following week and hopefully do a sweep at 40 weeks.

Ive had a cold shower once Olivia went to bed and had some me time and feel a little better about it. I could be stressing over nothing... I could (please please please) go into labor naturally somewhere near my due date.

Xx

 

[Jodie.82]

aw it must annoying to not know but could have been a complete one off?
so you might surprise yourself and go into labour nearer your due date, you have a few weeks yet, I hope you do and glad you are feeling better

 

[Kylarsmom]

Good luck Jade and Abs!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!

Congrats MummyL!!!

 

[xxyjadexx]

Still no baby for me!
Waiting 4 the Dr to come and do another sweep, I'm exhausted!
Praying todays the day!

Good luck every1 else hope your all well!

Xxx

 

[tjw]

Good luck ladies x

I'll be out all day today but will check on my phone for update every now and then and will update first post when I get home tonight xx

 

[Stef]

Oh no jade... Hope that you don't have much longer before your holding LO.

I'm full term today!! At last.

Xx

 

[mothercabbage]

happy full term stef xxx
xxyjadexx hope you have some progress soon xxx
asfm, a few pains during the night that died off when i went to pee, nothing as of yet today not even a BH..some one told me here that they let us go 2 week over befor inducing...that means if i go 2 weeks over ill be a september mum! .. i want my baby this month! xxxxxx

 

[Stef]

Me too Mothercabbage. My consultant dosent even want to see me until 31st August I'll be 8 days over by then.

I dont want to go 2 weeks over again, last time 15 days over due with 5 attempts at induction really got me down in the dumps. Ill be serving little lady and eviction notice soon. Dunno how but ill be having firm words.

xx

 

[mothercabbage]

well let me warn you, no self inducing tips work unless your body is ready...people say "i tried them to give me something to do whilst waiting"...all they do is piss you off b/c they dont work! i know ive tried..walking,curry,bouncing on ball, blah blah blah...im just depressed now...should have just realised will come when he is ready!...why do i wanna rush the little fella..stoopid mothercabbage!!

 

[Stef]

Im not going to be trying any self inducing methods to be honest, been there last time, Its just damned annoying isnt it... Im hopefully going to be using PMA, so far my PMA has gone for a walk so need it back.

I just don't want to need that last consultant appointment, however it was supposed to be the 29th but as its bank holiday the clinic isn't on so she wants to see me on L&D and have some one bleep her when I arrive so I may just refuse to leave if i need that appointment. They will be calling security for the crazy lady that wont leave.
