Its June!!!!! 20 week scan next month!!! Whos with me?

[time]

Part of me is glad I'm having the sweep as I will at least know what to expect during labour when they check dilation as it's the same sort of thing isn't it?

Also will be interesting to see if I am dilated at all after over a week of contractions!!

 

[ttc_lolly]

The internals during labour are fine because you're already in pain take a couple of paracetamol before your sweep appt though if you're worried about it hurting. That's what I'm going to do (wimp!! )!

I'm be Happy for bean to come Monday, were Xmas tree shopping at the weekend and I plan to wrap presents but have nothing planned for Monday!

Going to see twilight tomorrow late afternoon, so baby needs to stay put till then! Xxx

 

[Inoue]

Best of luck with your sweep tomorrow Time, hopefully she will inform you if your already dilated. Let us know as ill be eagerly waiting

Pops, enjoy twilight tomorrow night! Someone on another forum had her waters go in the cinema but she cleaned up as best as possible so she could watch the ending, lol.

Im hoping for a tomorrow or Saturday baby but wouldnt we all

Hope your doing ok Lolly x

 

[ttc_lolly]

OMG seriously!? I was dreading that happen to me purely because I would have refused to leave!

My clary sage oil bath is just running. It smells amazing, if it doesn't start anything off at least I'll smell great and be all relaxed will update if I notice anything!

 

[Inoue]

Lol, yep! What a trooper, I think I would of just left the cinema

Enjoy your bath Lolly, hoping something happens! Keep us posted

Xx

So.... Any babys born last night? . These last days of waiting are awful!!

If we dont have our LO in 14hours then were all having a Sagittarius baby, how cool! X

 

[pops23]

That's good I wanted a Sagittarius baby!

So, I just lost some of my mucous plug, maybe all of it. No bloody show, but clear very stringy mucous, as in completely clear, weird!!

Hoping that's a good sign, but who knows, hubby would like baby to come on Monday though so he can enjoy the weekend! Xx

 

[ttc_lolly]

No baby here I'm afraid and the CSO didn't do much except make me feel really relaxed, I slept the best I have in weeks! I can see why it's good for use during actual labour. I'll carry on using it though, in the hope it will do something... eventually!

I don't want her to come this weekend, same as your DH pops, I'm quite looking forward to having a nice, relaxed weekend and possibly the last one with just the 3 of us before she arrives. OH is working for a few hours on Sunday too, so she is free to arrive any time from Monday onwards!

 

[Inoue]

Id also happy with a Sagittarius, they have great personalities . Glad youve lost plug pops, mine also keeps coming away, some pieces are the size of a small egg . How much can there possibly be?!.

My dad (unknowingly to me until y'day pm) has ordered two tons of bloody gravel for my driveway that I dont fecking want! Im SO hormonal today so phoned up Jewsons and told them not to deliver today as I simply cant deal with this shit right now. Why the bloody hell do I want two tons of gravel near my due date, and nearly in December . Ive told them to hold off till Monday, I need my BP to settle down, im so peed off.

Hope your sweep went ok Time

Hi to everyone elce

Xx

 

[pops23]

that's so annoying, dads like husbands and partners, all men really, don't think do they!

I've got a MW appt at 3.15, wondering if she will have little look see to see if I'm dilated at all, she probably wont but may as well ask! xx

 

[Inoue]

Stupidity seems to ooz out of men. Its a "pinch the bridge of your nose and sigh" moment. I cant even explain how dumbfounded I am, how the hell am I supposed to shift two tonns of gravel in this condition .

Hope mw appt goes well pops, how come you have one today and on Tuesday?

Glad you enjoyed your bath Lolly and had a good night's sleep, got to be worth it for that?! Lol. So, are you going to give it another go tonight? x

Hope your doing alright Scally, Kellie and Sarah

Xx

 

[ttc_lolly]

Oh wow, does your drive need gravelling!? Why wouldn't he tell you he'd ordered it? Men

Good luck at your appt pops, no harm in asking

I'm going to massage the CSO in tonight and bathe in it again tomorrow I think. One day off, one day on!

 

[time]

Hi guys.. Midwifes was an absolute disaster!
I had to wait 40 mins, got in there and it was a midwife I've never met before (5th one I've had) who didn't even know how pregnant I was nevermind that I was booked in for sweep today!

She did agree to do it though, tried and said baby was very very low and she could feel her head, but that I have an extremely tilted cervix so there was no way she could do a sweep or feel high enough to see how dilated I am. She made me try a few different positions but nothing worked so she just wrote 'failed sweep' it was pretty uncomfortable but that might have been because of my tilted cervix. She also said this is probably why my contractions have not been enough to get things going, my cervix is just far too far back.

She then went on to ask me what pain relief I was planning in labour as women with tilted cervix tend to have a much more painful labour so I should be prepared for that and expect to be begging for an epidural!. Not what I expected and it has really panicked me.

She booked my induction in for 3rd dec at 8.30 am and that was it! Pretty fed up now and feel like there's no chance me going naturally.

 

[Inoue]

Oh no Time . What a disappointment. Guess it would explain as to why your contractions just couldnt establish itself enough, bless ya. Ive not heard much on tilted uterus so cant really help much apart from give you a virtual hug . At least there not letting you go to 42 weeks for induction, just keep up with your methids of eviction, especially if her head is v low down.

Lolly, our drive is COVERED in gravel, so much so that its raised about 3inches above neighbors. Dad saw a bit of concrete edging near my tire uncovered so he automatically just ordered two tonns of the dam stuff. I have NO idea where the hell im going to put it all

Xx

 

[ttc_lolly]

Oh time I've never heard of that before, is this MW just making crap up as she goes along!? Sorry your cervix was too far back though, mine was with Amber just because I wasn't ready to labour yet. I'm sure yours will move when the time is right, hopefully before induction but at least you have a date when you know things will definitely happen if nothing happens naturally before then.

Inoue, that's crazy! Can you not cancel the order?

 

[pops23]

Sorry to hear that time at least you have a date though so there is an end point for you

Tilted cervixes are quote normal though so no reason why it won't happen for you still, keeping my fingers crossed for you xxx

 

[time]

Thanks ladies.. Just so fed up after all the negativity she made me feel like there was no chance of spontaneous labour.
Had a bag of Percy pigs and having a nap now! Feeling a little better.

You're right about it being good having an end date in sight it just feels like it will really drag but I can at least focus on something!
Will you all get induction dates after your sweeps next week I wonder?!

 

[Inoue]

Lolly, My dads at that point in his life where he will most likely have a breakdown if I confronted him and asked him to stay out of my business. Instead ive handed over nearly £100 just to keep the peace x

Time, glad youve pigged out! I may have a take out pizza tonight after this gravel drama . I think my induction is on the 10th Dec (although its not booked) as she said id have it at 42weeks spot on x

 

[ttc_lolly]

time I really think she's misinformed you. If your cervix is so far back and high it usually means labour just isn't that close yet (although things can change very quickly). I know it's hard when a professional is telling you it, but I would take what she has said with a pinch of salt (and probably talk to another MW about it because I wouldn't trust the one you saw today!). Did they not book you in to attempt another one?

Oh no Inoue, I thought your dad had paid for it too. So he ordered it and YOU have to pay for all this gravel you don't need? grrrr that's super annoying. You could maybe try and sell it, but then that's more effort and stress on your part.

I honestly have no idea what is going to happen at my appt on Monday. I'm now freaking out they won't try a sweep at all because I'm not going to be 40w, even though they asked me to come in then for my 40w appt I'll definitely cry if they won't even try it I'm ready to be done now, my poor pelvis can't take any more!
