I didn't tear or have stitches. I think I'm just scared to push too hard

That's a good thing silly girl! We don't want tears or stitches. I'm been learning how to breath my baby down and am really hoping I can achieve this on the day. I keep hearing of all these urges to just want to push with all your might so I'm not sure if I'll need to keep my urges in check and just stay calm. It's a bit like pooing, you want to push and push to get it out but if you just let it come on it's own it'll slip out. (Great analogy eh? hahaha) I'm a poo breather in training!

Jenni I'm sure you will be fine... I really wish I had done hypnobirthing this time I was really out of tune, I still read the book and a lot came back to me etc and I managed to breathe him down for a lot of the way but at a certain point I felt I couldn't cope anymore it suddenly changed and my body was doing things my brain knew were wrong. I think I would have coped better at the end ifthr hypnobirhing classes we did were recent and fresh in my mind

Midwife appt today, she booked me for induction and did a sweep, they were really suprised to find my cervix stretchy and paper thin and posterior??....she asked if i had any pains as i was 3-4 cm dilated and as i hadnt she assumed i would have an almost painless labor and that i have a very strong pain threshhold

This is my 5th pregnancy, how long do you think i have left ladies? xx

I got really angry with my BIL today, my sister is 8 days overdue and induction booked thursday, and he actually told her to stop moaning! What a d**k, does he not realise she is frustrated and scared! x
