Ah congrats Nb, I love the name Ruby. DH vetoed it as our girl choice as it doesn't really go with our surname. But as he's a red head, I would've though. It would be a fab choice!

Over the past few weeks I've been producing mucus when I wipe (snotty yellow in appearence). This morning for the first time it was blood stained. Is that a good thing?

ooh sounding good hun - hopefully you'll soon be on your way too

I am still here -now officially overdue MW appt today -was scheduled for a sweep but my bloods came back yday and my iron is still low -so hoping this wont impede my sweep (as I am having a home birth they are being a bit stricter about my levels - delivering in hospital and they wouldn't mind so much boohoo)

Oh well fx'd for me please girls

Congrats Spu and all the other July 14th EDD -ers - hope the baby's make a quick appearance - going over due sucks lol

Good luck with the sweep! How do you feel about it?

It was good to see my show this morning. It shows me that my body is actually DOING something at least!

Morning crossroads -tbh I am just hoping they will do the sweep, haven't thought anything else beyond that lol - and hope that my cervix is favourable too of course. I am not holding my breath though, with my iron levels being low and also not having any prelabour signs yet at all, then it looks hopeless.

Really hope things progress for you today xx

I have never had a membrane sweep before but I'll let you know (hopefully lol) when I get back later. I think it depends person to person, whether your cervix is favourable or not.

Good luck for the sweep! Just wondering, is there a medical reason why MW is doing a sweep on your due date? Mine said they dont do them until 41 weeks! It is so irritating!! Is yours happy to do one today hun? Wish my midwife would be more relaxed about the 'rules'!!! Any tips on how I could get one on Friday when Ill be 40+1???

[mightyspu]

Wanna - no, she said they don't do them on your due date round my way. But I don't mind, gives me another thing to aim for! And anyway, I wouldn't want to queue jump!

MrsXYZ! Hello to another fellow 14er! hope your time is soon!

Crossy, mental isn't it?


I can't change the TV channel because my cat is snoozing on the remote!

hey, no medical reason, they just offer one at 40 weeks and another at 40+5 apparently, so figured there's no harm in trying. Not expecting much from it to be honest as I have had no signs anything is happening at all, but you never know!

nope not for me - I am having a home birth too and have been on crutches with spd since week 16 and still SOME of my mw's are saying 41 weeks for my sweep -gonna beg today and pray for one of the mw's who will do it from 40 weeks -seems to be very much down to personal preference rather than strict rules xxx

In fact I am on a mission now, I KNOW that there are policies (NHS guidelines NICE guidelines etc) so I am going to go find out wht I can and be armed with facts for this afternoon lol .Problem with me is that its NOT my first baby and I think its 40 weeks for 1st timers and 41 weeks for subsequent babies (unless medically defined reason; like spd for instance -which I have lol)

Good Luck xxx

I hope yours will give you a sweep soon Even though we are all part of the NHS, it amazes me that rules are different in different areas or even just different hospitals!! I could go to Coventry hospital and be induced at 12days over, or trundle up the road to Warwick hospital and be induced at 14 days :-/ Some areas will let you go up to 14 days for a home birth, but in my area you're supposedly not aloud to go over 10days
