Can I be included on this influx of births over the weekend please?!
Kelzy, good to hear from you. Glad you had an appointment with the consultant & hope it has answered some questions for you.
Claire, did Niamh sleep ok in the end last night?
Curlew, good that Logan is packing on the pounds! Have you been out to register his birth today?
Hann, sorry I thought the 2 week manicure was a new thing, she said I can remove it using acetone which she said I could buy from Boots
or I was thinking I might go back in a couple of weeks once baby is born before DH goes back to work! Hope youre body really is gearing up for something, although not to put a downer on it Ive felt like that for at least a week now.
Jenni, I know what you mean about getting everything ready for labour, I dont think theres anything else left to do! 21 July for a c sec sounds good, nice date for a birthday.
Caz, thanks for sharing your birth story, you kept so strong, I loved it when you mentioned watching the Alan Partridge DVDs!!
Have you been for an outing this afternoon then, how did it go?
Mel, glad your MW apt went ok and that youve got a sweep booked for next week. Your walk in the woods sounds lovely, Im dying for DH to get home so we can go for a walk but looks like its about to rain now!
Simmy, what did your MW say after your sweep, did she expect it to be successful? Im surprised you havent had any blood, I had loads but maybe its me thats not normal. Im the same as you changing positions every hour during the night, and each time is such a palava, poor DH.
Hope you got some good cuddle time with the twins.
Fifi, is this your second or third sweep, what has your MW said about chances of success? Hope this one works.
Squeeker, glad your apt went well yesterday, and fingers crossed your signs lead to something soon.
Linds, taking Sophie to the cinema sounds fab, Ive heard of this before but cant quite imagine it, let us know how it is!
AFM, sweep wasnt pleasant but I dont know what I expected! MW said cervix & babys head are very very low but cervix still quite thick, she said she centralised everything & stretched me to 2-3cm. She seemed very confident something would happen in the next 24-48 hours but I never know how much to believe these MWs. She called the hospital to book my induction and their first date is 23rd, so next Sat when Ill be 2 weeks over. I asked if another sweep might help & she tried to book me for next Fri but I convinced her to let me come back on Monday because thatll be last chance of getting a delivery suite birth.

Oh well i'm sure i wont care when i have the little bundle in my arms!
), feeling tired and emotional... I hope it's the start of something, though I still have a week to go until my due date. 39 weeks today!
