Why was she freaking out about your babies hand being there. When dd was born in the sac her hand was up overher head. Just because its there now doesn't mean it will.still be there.

Sound like positive things are happening fingers crossed.

She wasn't freaking out as such more just covering her own back I think, that she didn't have to refer me to be seen by my consultant. The registrar said babies can be born with their hands up there, like you say, it's just not something she'd every come across before. She was a bit concerned about presentation that's all - but all is well. :thumbup:
 
Had a successful sweep and she said I was 1cm already she done 2 goo sweeps which was uncomfortable I had to apologise to the lovely midwife who held my hand as I squeezed her hand taht hard a few times i felt bad when it was finished lol

I also was given my induction date for Wednesday ill be 41+5 but maybe the sweep will get things going an baby arrives before then :)

Congrats on the first baby :) hope your both well x
 
Yay, ptr! I'm so excited to find out what team you're on! Good luck, I hope that all goes well. :hugs: :happydance:

I hope that things get moving for all of you soon. I know it's hard to wait and it feels like forever now, but once you're holding that little bundle in your arms you'll wonder where the time went and it will feel like your entire pregnancy was the blink of an eye. :hugs:

My OH got a promotion at work recently because the man who was in the position is leaving the company for a different job and recommended him for the position. He's now making $35,000 before taxes and he will be working mostly on his own so he won't have to deal with most of the insufferable people that he works with. He seems a lot happier when he comes home ever since Liam's birth and this new position at work. While I was still in the hospital after I had Liam he told me that he thought that I was a really good mother and that seeing me with Liam made him fall in love with me all over again. :blush:

Does anyone in the UK know when they induce you for going over? I thought it was 2 weeks but my SIL says she thinks it is 10 days.

It's between 12-14 days if there are no complications. Most places won't let you go more that 14 days before inducing you, but even then you could be 16 days over by the time baby arrives. I'm going to discuss when they would induce me if I go over with my MW next week.
 
Congrats hotbump!

Good luck to all those, close and overdue. Hope your LOs arrive soon.
 
Do you ladies have any sweep stories? I'm considering asking my doctor for one Monday. I'll only be 39 weeks but I'm not sure my mental health can take much more abuse. He offered an induction, which I do not want until I'm actually overdue, but I figured it might be a way to help things along?
 
yep.. I had 3 done with mason starting at 38 weeks I went into labour after my 3rd one. I will be getting them done again at 38 weeks this time. My midwife and ob both told me that there are studies that say that sweeps help you from not going so overdue (if started at 38 weeks) but won't ness. Put you into labour. They are a little uncomfortable but not bad :)

I'm now overdue broody and in the UK - I've been scheduled for induction at 12 days over. (VBAC too)

I saw my midwife today and my 15 minute appointment turned into 45 minutes! He's creating drama and he's not even here yet! :dohh:

Everything is fine, I had a sweep but she could feel fingers up by his head!! :wacko: She called the MAU and spoke to numerous people / midwives / registrars who have all said it's fine, it's written in my notes and if he doesn't show I've got another sweep booked for next Thursday. She's just never experienced that in all her years as a midwife and said that's probably the reason behind things stopping and starting! :dohh:

Since getting home I've had some strong contractions and lots of on / off strong period pains and some brown discharge so I'm hopeful!! :happydance:

Sending lots of labour vibes Lownthwaite :hugs: How did you find the sweep? I really want to let nature take it's course (I'm 39+1) but think my mw may do the first sweep next Thursday which is my due date so I may refuse it!!! Arrrgh seriously stressing out, my daughter was early so never had to think about sweeps/induction/intervention etc.

Congratulations to your OH and congratulations to you both on the birth of Liam :) My hubby said something similar after I had our daughter and I remember crying for hours because he was being so sweet. Definate man points for your OH :)

Anyone else terrified of having a sweep or being induced? Anyone else thinking of refusing and asking for extra scans etc? I'm seriously freaking out, thought Marshmallow would be here by now as Jennifer was born at 36+5!!! Totally unprepared for if Marshmallow is still comfortable in there this time next week x
 
Kalon, that is super sweet. I hope my OH is as sweet as that!

That's the only thing I'm real nervous or scared about. He's just so disconnected still, almost in denial. Otherwise, bring on the pain! I'm so ready to love on my baby girl.
 
Anyone ever experienced back labour in the pre-labour phase? I've been having back pain in waves for the past couple of days with some period-like cramps. I know pre-labour can last for weeks anyway. Just seem to be constantly symptom spotting these days. Feel like I'm back in the TWW!! Lol.
 
I had a sweep prior to both kids..followed by lots of walking and dtd. I went into labour both times within 12-24 hours after. Am hoping to get one this morning if my cervix is favourable to doibg so.

The sweep was quite uncomfortable but it wasn't too bad. My waters broke 12 hours after the first sweep with my DD so I'm hopeful. :thumbup:

It's now 31 hours since my sweep and I'm still having random, strong contractions and loosing a ridiculous amount of plug. :wacko: If nothing really progresses though I'm having a second sweep on the 10th.
 
Ive had 2 attempted sweeps but they ended up being stretches instead as they couldn't reach opening yet. It certainley seems to help things along, quite crampy afterwards and i didn't find them too uncomfortable. I really hope dylan either comes before thurs or the next sweep works to get him out. I would think a sweep us easier on your body than induction.
 
Being induced wasn't bad at all for me, but that's because I had already received my epidural before they gave me Pitocin. :haha:

I hope that the sweeps work out, ladies! It seems like so many of you are about ready to pop. Bring on the sweet LOs! :cloud9:
 
Fingers crossed we all pop em out soon. Having a sweep this morning.
 
Girly i keep having contractions in back. Not sure_if it is pre labour but it is painful
