yeh eve i know! i just want him out now lol i'm done trying to have a normal birth.. bring on the induction!
today was on the ctg for an hour and a half. heart rate was at 180 then suddenly dip to 130 then back up etc - it wouldn't go normal.. the midwife was concerned and spoke to a doctor - they told me to go for a walk and get some lunch and come back..
so i came back and the heart rate was still being weird so she gave me an exam. Cervix was closed and hard and high up again. baby nowhere near...
She said I'll basically have to be induced with prostin - she doubts they will even be able to break my waters so i have to have the worst type of induction before trying the gentler methods!
i was sad but after this the babies heart rate became normal lol, so i was allowed to leave.
while the ctg was on me again she gave another lady a sweep. She was only 1 day overdue and already 3cm and soft and having tightenings. She was saying wow such an easy sweep your bodies really ready etc...
I just burst into tears and sat there crying lol.
Then when i got up i had pulled a nerve or something in my back... I can hardly walk tonight! had to wait for my OH to get home from work to put our son to bed as i couldn't get him ready lol. Then he pretty much half dragged half carried me up the stairs and i've sat on the bed ever since
ARGH!!!!!!!!
Rachael - wishing you the best of luck xxx
