Well,as the title suggests today is my EDD, but no sign of baby wanting to make an appearance anytime soon! No signs whatsoever
I have a midwife appointment on Tuesday so i will see what she says then!
Just hoping baby doesn't decide to arrive on my birthday on the 5th!!!!
Knowing me It will be doing just that! lol

To be totally honest I feel great! don't feel too huge,can still do pretty much all the things I normally do. Just hope my labour is as forgiving! lol

Hi Kosh, yes I remember you too - seems like only yesterday we were all worrying about TTC and now we are about to give birth!
I hope for both our sakes we are not kept waiting too long.
Good luck with your birth and I will be looking out for your birth story soon.

Well, I had my midwife appointment today and all is good, baby is engaged and ready,just need to wait until he/she is ready to make its debut! she has booked me in for a sweep on Monday 9th and I hope either baby comes before then or after the sweep. I really don't want to be induced

No Bumpi,she didn't give me a date for the induction,but I guess they will discuss that on Monday if baby hasn't turned up by then.
I want to avoind an induction as I hear it can bring on the labour pains a lot faster and therefore stronger than if it's a natural build up. Of course I will do what is right for baby in the end as that is what matters.

Hi Indigo, will keep you all posted!
I wouldn't say I am scared as such, but it's such an unknown thing with your 1st that you can't help but think about it - alot!
A sweep is when the midwife will run her finger around your cervix to "get things going" as it were. She refered to it as a stretch and sweep so perhaps there is an element of stretching the cervix too??

Hi Storm, no, little one is hanging on in there!
How are you and baby and how are you feeling?

 

[Indigo77]

Maybe you should have some spicy food and then have some sexy time with your OH to move things along....

sorry for the delayed reply .. i can understand your anxiety but from speaking to some friends who have been induced its not always been more painful .. some have gone through it with just gas and air. please try not to worry .. hope everything goes well on Monday xx

How is everything going Clairey?

Hi Gia, I'm good thanks. Baby still doesn't seem to want to make an appearance though. Had a sweep yesterday, but it hasn't done anything yet.
I am now booked in for an induction on Sat - just hoping baby turns up before then!!
How are you doing?
