Congats to all the new mummies first and foremost! Fab news!

Well day 11 past EDD came and I decided I needed a break from this site today. Had bad sleep due to stressing and spent the best part of an hour in floods of tears. This is the first day where I've really thought enough is enough now. I've lost a bit more plug today but haven't had any other cramps really. Either that or I'm just so used to them now I don't notice. Midwife was wrong about it coming by tomorrow and I stupidly got my hopes up again.
Hubby has been so good. Made me blueberry pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, mmmm. Had a nap this afternoon and his family came round for spontaneous cards night which although I wasn't keen for, did take my mind off things.
The PMA has gone for a while, sorry to moan...........

Poor you MrsPhez
I'm so bloody fed up already so I have NO idea of how you must be feeling at +11 days!!!

Is it Monday you are being induced if nothing over the weekend?[/QUOTE

Yes Monday is day for induction but not sure I want to be induced. I am really scared that I will be hooked up and unable to move, that DH won't be allowed with me all the time and there could be distress caused to baby due to intense contractions.
Am thinking of asking for an elective C-Section. Need to think long and hard this weekend. Hubby is an eye surgeon at same hospital I'm due to give birth in so he's gonna call an obstetrician tomorrow and see what the lay of the land is. No medical reason for C-Sec = no C-Sec but so many inductions end up in C-Secs I'd rather it was done in non-emergency conditions.
I do know that I need to stop stressing! Hope my PMA returns tomorrow. I just want to meet our baby.

I was induced at term +10 with my first and went into labour 4 hours later it went fine and I didn't need a c section you should be fine with how late you are

 

[Blondie007]

Mrs Phez, I am the same as you. Beimg induced on Sunday and really scared. scared pf the whole induction (which is stopping me from getting so excited about meeting my baby) and scared cos DH will have to leave me on my own on Sunday night. I know I need to be brave but just scary as never been in hospital before....

Hope it all works out for you xx

 

[millward329]

lying awake thinking about how I dont want to go to hospital when it comes to labour. It seems so scary and being on my own at night time in a ward full of babies and other mums.

 

[Disneydancr]

You'll be great. And hopefully the doctors and nurses are awesome. Honestly, my OH didn't have much to do during my labor- I would have been just fine without him. He slept through the first night of her life, and went home to sleep the second. It's not bad. We're here if you need support. You can update your status on facebook too, and change your notification options to receive texts from facebook so we can stay in touch. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

mrsphez gosh no one could blame you for feeling like that! 11 days over sucks big time! at 3 days over I'm moaning far more than you! sounds like hubby is looking after you well so let him pamper you for today! They say the more your relaxed the more likely you are to go into labour hence all the night births! (explains why i'm overdue, nothing relaxing about a 4 year old boy and a hubby who is really thoughtless, I seem to do nothing but yell at the both of them lately).

So how is everyone else? susie not ignoring you but I commented on facebook so would only be repeating what I put there

I've woken up with a really horrible dull back ache, right low down almost in my bottom this morning, I finally gave in and just got up. Would love to get excited and think ooh maybe but I think we all know its more likely just the pain from sleeping on my hips radiating round! Right off to crunch some more ice x

 

[Disneydancr]

Hang in there jojo!

[MrsPhez]

Thank you for being so supportive. Am feeling better today. Am just confused about everything, I just hadn't prepared my self for being this overdue but I'm coming to terms with it. Had a better sleep, although have had headache last couple of days. Prob stress related.

You will be fine, I was telling susie that you will be so busy with baby and exhusted from birth you will be more irritated than anything else with all the noise on the wards when you want to sleep!

Good to hear your going to have a nice relaxing day, I'm going for a waddle round the shops later for a bit of retail therapy (although in York not Sheffield so about an hours drive away hope I'm not going to live to regret that! Would be amusing though! Do you see midwife again soon or just at induction next? on the positive side of induction your 99% more likely to get an epidural if you ask for one than if you don't get induced! x

 

[millward329]

Good to see you again Tink, know exactly that feeling about hospitals.

Jo you and your ice! Hope your day cheers up for you x

 

[millward329]

Happy EDD Joanna x

 

[jojo-m]

p.s I don't like my new ticker statement - baby is anywhere from 5 to 11 pounds - lets hope its more in the 7-8lb range

 

[hodbert]

Hey girls hope you are all ok and coping with your last fews days of being preggy (hopefully!). To all those who are worried about inductions, although my labour was long and ended in c-section, that was nothing to do with being induced, more my body not able to push holly out. The induction process is nothing to worry about and you will be great. Once you get in there you just go with it anyway and even though I was in there for 40 hours (again not due to being induced) it didnt seem like it at the time and when i look back it doesnt seem that long either.

Yes that is a definite bonus! Thanks for that!

 

[MrsPhez]

The pelvic pressure today is immense. Very difficult to get comfortable now. Yet more plug lost. Have decided to keep my intentions of having this baby naturally w/o C-Section. Feeling loads better emotionally. Bubs feels like he's trying to fight his way out of a paper bag. Come on little one you can do it.
Hope you're all having a good day x

 

[jms895]

Hope your all ok! Cant believe some of you are still pregnant, feesl like ages ago since I had Alexander! I want a bump again! xx

 

[millward329]

Jade you can borrow my bump for a bit ....
