Can i join the "IM SO FUCKED OFF WITH PEOPLE" club???

I was booked in this morning for regular checkup with midwife and seeing as the next time I would see them Id be 6days overdue I was also booked in for a sweep today. So I went in all excited only to be seen by a completely different bitch of a midwife who said under no circumstances will they sweep until 41weeks! Grrr! Why tell me last week id be having a sweep??

Plus baby has unengaged himself slightly....he was 3/5ths palpable and today hes 4/5ths palpable!
Feel like im gonna go crazy!!!!
 
Think all of you should come to my app on 23rd, as think I have the most liberal midwife, who thinks after 39 weeks, whats the point in waiting.....could have kissed her when she said she would do one for me b4 41 weeks ! Dunno if it'll work, but at least it'll feel like I'm trying !
 
I have the middy on friday if no sign of baby and i hope she does a sweep otherwis ei wont be amused!
 
I don't see midwife again until 40+2 but she already said they won't do a sweep until 40+6.
 
Why can't all m/w say the same thing??? FFS, why tell you they will give you a sweep at 40wks yet another at a different hospital say 41??? I just dont get it. I have already been booked infor mine next week, so god only help them if I am still pregnant then & they say no, there will be fireworks!! No dancing for me today, but have taken wee man for a walk, & hoovered the whole of the upstairs out inclucing all the grotty corners of the room & skirting boards. My back & pelvis is killing me now from all the leaning over & walking but I dont care, just hope it helps baby want to come out. Had my RLT this morning, going to have another now & shower myself in Clary Sage oil, eat 20 pineapples, order a vindaloo for tea & take advantage of DH once wee man is in bed :rofl:
 
We only have tinned pineapple in, and apparantly its fresh that does the trick. doh! sod it, il try it anyway!!
 
My midwife mentioned something about papaya fruit aswell. Just incase you get fed up and want a change after all those pineapples!

You're right, it is the enzymes in the fresh pineapple that work, but you have to eat a load of them to get it to work :haha: I'll try anything just now tho, my neighbour was telling me yest that when she was overdue with her son (now 8) her mum said to her to drink some castor oil in fresh orange - she did and was in labour that night, however, I'm not that desperate yet I dont think - how vile would that taste :nope:

Can you imagine how poorly our poor tummys would be after eating vindaloos, 20 pineapples plus papayas just incase the pineapple failed :rofl: It would certainly get you to 'clear out':blush: just hopefully not in the middle of labour :haha:

You'd be too scared to go too far away from the loo after all that! :rofl:
 
Hey all.

Been super busy this weekend with my sisters 18th.

Happy belated birthday VP :)

Congrats to Gill and good luck to to Twiggy!

2bananas- hope you're slightly less in pain and happy due date!

I've been having pains since 10am but think my body is just taking the piss to be honest :( Pretty sure they aren't doing anything as they're uncomfy but don't hurt too much. xx
 
I am so tempted to walk up to the chemist and get myself some castor oil!

I really am that desperate xx
 
yep im contenplating going to get some caster oil does it have to be fresh orange juice?? lol xx
 
Doesnt have to be fresh orange, but apparently tastes the best lol. I dont think you'll get any anywhere tho hun, alot of places stopped selling it as pregnant women were trying it and it's not safe for the baby.
 
Katy - hope the pains are the start of something for you :hugs: xx
