Morning all, how are we today? I actually had a good sleep and did not wake up at the crack of dawn! SO pleased to see Merlot had her bubbs!
 
Hey spu- must have been something in the air as I slept well too. Still woke up early but hey!
How u feeling today? I'm bored waiting now! Officially overdue now poo head!
 
Me too lol -great sleep, for the first time in ages -maybe (hopefully lol) its our bodies preparing for the onset of labour haha. Doubt it though, still nothing here xxx

Have a good day ladies -GL to those being induced, having sweeps etc and lets hope to hear about more babies today -proudmum, crossroads where are you ladies haha?

Rant alert!

So I went to the hospital yesterday (midwife's orders) to see if my waters had broke. The hospital midwife did an internal (don't even get me started on that!) and she said that she could see my show but no waters. Then she told me out of the blue "you're 4 days overdue yet you're only measuring 35cm... you need to come tomorrow for a growth scan".

WUT??

Why the hell didn't my community midwife say anything about this when she measured me last week??

Furthermore, I've had the crappest period cramps since yesterday and now, whenever I wipe there's blood. Bubs is still moving so don't know what to think.
 
your bump measurement may have gone done when the baby dropped? Mine has a little. What do your notes say?

it's good that the baby is still moving and it sounds like your plug is still coming away, What was up with the internal? It's odd isn't it?
 
Wanna and Kirsty, I do hope that the sleep was babies way of letting s all get our energy stores up. When I saw how quiet it had been on here this morning, I had hoped that you had gone overnight!

Am off to see if there is any news from Proudmum.... And didn't Cherry have a sweep today? I hope that stirs something up!

Sorry hun -was hoping you'd had your baby by now. Are you getting another scan today then? Spu is right though, once baby drops the bump size can change dramatically and we all know fundal heights aren't too accurate at the best of times . Hope you are okay and not stressing too much, this going overdue really really sucks!!!!!!

Hugs to everyone (but espec those overdue haha -sorry ladies:blush::blush:)
:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:
And loads of labour dust too

Apparently baby is still 3/5 engaged like she was last week, so no change there.

How readily do the NHS dish out growth scans? I've never had one before and 40+5 seems quite late in the day to be having one.

Have you ever had one?

Apparently the hospital midwife did an internal to see if she could see any waters coming out. She asked me to cough several times. What really frustrated me about the internal was the faulty manner in which she performed it. She inserted the speculum (that vice-like object designed to hold the vagina open) and for some reason when she tried to open it the whole speculum slid out of me fast. It was painful and scary. The LAST thing you want when you visit hospital and are already scared is someone who blatantly doesn't know what they're doing inserting objects into your tender genitals.
 
aw sorry it hurt hon, but apart from the slipping thing, it sounds just like mine, not pleasant but normal.

And no, I haven't had a growth scan. Have a look at your notes and see what your fundal measurements were, it may be that your mw was not concerned with them and this mw just wants to double check
 
Thanks chick.

I've also noticed on my notes from yesterday it says that I have "posterior cervix". what is this?
 
Morning all! not had time to come on here, the house has been full of every man and his dog!!

well congrats to any one who's LO's have arrived since ive been gone! going to try and write a birth story now :D

hope you are all well
xxxx
 
Crossy, I think it means it's towards the back. But has no bearing as to whether you are close to labour or not.

Cherry, keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Shortie, so pleased to see you back as a Mummy! Congrats again!

I've read different things on different websites.

On one site I read that the cervix starts at the back but as labour approaches it goes to the front?

Well I certainly didn't Hayley! You are clever! stooopidly jealous!

CR - phone your mw if you are worried love.
