Congratulations Mummy L

Thinking of you Jade you must be exhausted. I hope you have had the baby by now.

Any news on Abs yet?

AFM well I must be the first August mum to go over I am now +1
I had my regular appt this morning at hospital good news is that I am now 2/5 doc also decided to give me stretch and sweep while I was there. OMG how bloody uncomfortable is that!!! dont want to go through that again!!! Good news is Doc says that it is all very soft and that she thinks it will be happening in the nx week defo wont need to be induced she thinks.

Ive not seen anything about Abs anywhere.

Sunshine, at least its looking promising that you wont need to be induced. Lets hope the sweep gets things moving for you.

Well ive pulled my finger out and blown up my birthing ball. I will get this Lo in the right position. Well when i can get on it. Its been claimed by my 3 YO.

Haha bless him!

Olivia does roly polys on my bloody ball she leans against it with all her body weight and rolls right over with it.

Im thinking I might have to find a 'safe place' for it during the day and just get it down when she is in bed. lol

Congratulations Abs, lovely name great weight. can't wait to see her.

Quick question. I have slight bleeding after Stretch and sweep is this normal?

 

[Mark&Annie]

Congratulations Abs!!! Can't wait to see piccies!! xxx

 

[Stef]

Sunshine girl - I never had any bleeding myself with my first but seen a few posts in third tri over these last few weeks about slight bleeding after a sweep and when they have phoned L&D they have said it to be normal but perhaps give them a call just incase and make sure the info thats been related on here is OK

Congrats Abs!! What a beautiful name.

 

[sunshinegirl]

Thanks Stef seems to have calmed down, if it comes back I will phone them.

its actualy quiet common for a sweep to cause bleeding because ur cervix is so sensitive. just stick ur feet up and relax abit till the bleeding stops

Congrats abs! Lovely name!

Sunshine girl I had a sweep yesterday and bled a bit, wasn't a lot but the mw said its perfectly normal unless its a lot of blood, I only had a bit when I went for a wee!

Well this induction seems to have been a complete failure! Had a 3rd tablet inserted this morning and it did nothing! I was in so much pain last night after the 2nd tablet but that all stopped! They are resting me for tonight and starting it all again tomorrow! I feel so sore from all the tablets, cervix checks and sweeps! Hopefully tomorrow will be the day!

Hope everyone is well! Xx
