Well you never know lol. I'm not holding my breath but at least i've given it a go Probably end up on the loo all night and still no baby XxX

You all really need to buy a pineapple corer, they're fantastic! You basically just cut off the top, put the corer in position above it and twist until it reaches the bottom. Then when you pull it out it has pineapple rings on it and the core is left standing in the middle of the skin. Best invention ever and it only cost me £3

Hope it works for you Rose, it made my mouth ridiculously sore when I ate mine the other day. My tongue was burning for hours from the acid!

I've eaten another pineapple tonight............ i brought a very large one!!! My mouth is in bits!!!!!! we'll see..............................

Just read this:
Pineapple, mango, and kiwi contain en enzyme called bromelain that is supposed to work like a prostaglandin, ripening and softening the cervix. That enzyme is not present in canned pineapple, so you'll have to eat it fresh.

I was wondering why, well I have a 4 pack of ready to eat ripe kiwis down stairs. Am I pushing it of I eat them too?????

Mmm sounds nice, although it also sounds like a recipe for heartburn!

Think I'd prefer kiwis to pineapple as they don't burn as much - although if you have to eat 7 pineapples to get any effect then god knows how many kiwis you'd have to eat!

 

[moggi]

I do like kiwis but i'm thinking the same, how many do you need?! Pineapple doesn't seem to have done anything, not even in toilet dept, not sure what that says about my digestive system lol. Got woken up a few times in the night with really strong bh but now nothing apart from a dodgy feeling in lower back, not sure what thats due to, maybe shes lying on a nerve. How is everyone else this morning? I wonder how brandy is? XxX

 

[gypsy1981]

No more babies overnight then anyone? Looks like I'm going for my sweep today as still no sign other the lazy little sod. Can't believe I'm 41 weeks pregnant, this really wasn't part of the plan. Thought I'd have a 2 or 3 week old baby by now

 

[moggi]

No baby here, as usual lol. I know what you mean Nicola, i thought something would happen weeks ago when i had all that bleeding. What time is your sweep? I'm going to ring my midwife in a bit to see if i can get one at all. XxX

 

[gypsy1981]

Sweep is at 4:10pm so she's still got a few hours to come naturally but can't see it happening yeah give her a ring, they might book you in.

One week today til I get induced. Even though I really don't want to be induced it feels good to have an end date in sight. This time next week I'll either have my baby or I'll be preparing to finally meet her!

 

[moggi]

Good luck I've got until next sunday 3rd june before they'll induce me going on their policy of 40+12. Why do i just know she'll be a june baby lol. Rang community midwife office as my midwife is off today and then on annual leave from Saturday, grrr! They can't really answer my question but have told me to leave her a message on her mobile and hopefully she'll get back to me tomorrow. Fingers crossed she does otherwise i'm back to square one XxX

 

[moggi]

Message has been left now, so the ball is in her court That pineapple has really clogged me up (sorry tmi) I thought it was supposed to have the opposite effect? Lol XxX

 

[gypsy1981]

Hope she gets back to you. I know the sweeps aren't guaranteed to work but at least it makes you feel like you're making some progress!

Lol, yeah it is supposed to have opposite effect. Made me pretty 'loose' and my tummy was making some funny noises!

No Leanne or Megan yet this morning - could we have another baby on the way?!

 

[moggi]

Yes if it doesn't work at least i'll know i've been given the chance. I really didn't want to be induced a third time but what will be will be I've just done a positive mental attitude thread about it being ten days to go lol, hope it isn't but like you said its nice to have an end in sight isn't it? Yeah no Leanne or Megan, i wonder......... XxX

[gypsy1981]

Aw I was getting my hopes up that one of you were in labour. Wonder if Megan is having any luck!

Nipple stimulation seems like too painful an option right now, they're far too sensitive! DTD doesn't seem to do much at all in my opinion, plus this weather is making it far too warm to be doing anything so energetic!

I'm getting a bit excited about this afternoon now. Going to be devastated if she says my cervix is closed!

 

[meganOUFC]

Nothing here I'm afraid. Same
As rose. Not so much as a toilet break!!!!!! Boooooooooooo
Midwife tomorrow.
I wonder how Brady is

 

[moggi]

I can't believe the pineapple clogged me up!! Lol. I am clearly not normal!Sorry dtd didn't work leanne XxX
