and you'll feel better to have him safe in your arms
Oh my goodness ladies- ended up in triage last night after my mw apt with a bp of 161/100.
Now I'm booked in for a birth centre and being in the hospital has only confirmed that's what I really want. It was awful. There was a mw crying as she was so stressed and one came up to me and said she would self discharge if she were me.
Luckily my bp was down and everything was fine. My mom is a mw and I'm a nurse so am monitoring bp and urine at home. Unfortunately I know what it's like to be in their position and feel that scared at work. It really shook me up. I didn't expect to feel so unsafe in what should be such a safe place.
Hoping the next few weeks go smoothly and there are enough midwives to staff the birth centre. I feel so sorry for them.
If not I'm staying at home and my mom can deliver me.
On the big baby topic- my SIL just had her baby. She is UK size 8, 4'11" and had a 10lb boy. All was well and she did it 100% natural. X
I hope you get the birth you want, where you want 
Wow, i bet that was a shock!
I had read that induction is possible if baby is small, are there other factors? What are there reasons for induction?
Making me panic a bit for my growth scan tomorrow!
it was a shock yea, in a week i went from a normal pregnancy to being told i'm going to be induced.
for me it's just because he is small and my bump has not grown as much as they would have liked over the last month. they think that he won't grow much more so think it's safer for him to be out rather then bake for a few more weeks.
fingers crossed your growth scan gose well

Now im even more scared!
So i had my consultant appointment today (thyroid) i was there 2hrs and 20 mins, 2hrs waiting to be seen! The midwife did the usual checks before i went in for my appt, urine, blood pressure etc fine, she agreed with the measurement midwife did on tuesday, im measuring 32cms.
The hospital was so busy they couldnt get me in for my growth scan today, but the consultant wants me to go to the other hospital tomorrow (where im having baby, 15 miles away) to be monitored, the fetal wellbeing unit isnt open on a saturday so ive got to go to a ward.
Then im booked in at 8.15am on monday with the fetal unit to be monitored and get a growth scan. She wants me to be monitored 2x a week, but i guess that might change depending on the outcome of the growth scan.
Consultant said she will only see me again if theres a problem with the scan.
