Wow, I didn't know you could try a bit of everything! Lol. Really didn't want an epi, and by the time we got there it would've been too late anyway. Was willing to try pethidine but again, since I was so close to giving birth when we got there it wasn't really worth it. The MW didn't even think I'd really get the benefit from the gas&air as I was already in the pushing stage but there was no way I was going without that. I'd been looking forward to trying some of that!

I really didnt think i was gonna be one of the last pumpkins thou! There goes my theory of me going early, maybe i will be wrong about the sex since i have been wrong about everything else so far! Girly did you have a feeling on the sex?

We'd been trying all the natural induction theories, apart from castor oil, that I could read up on around my due date. I had just about given up on them all. OH still insists it was the sex that put me into labour. Lol.
I had absolutely no idea. Everyone said boy, I was carrying like I was carrying a boy. All the old wives tales said boy. OH just had an instinct from the start that we were having a girl.
Was Mason late? Everyone expected me to go early as no one in my family has ever gone over before. Think they all jinxed me!

Wow, that's dedication!! Lol. I really hope you go soon!!
I'd always heard that but there's been a lot of ladies in the 3rd tri forum who've gone further over with their 2nd or 3rd than their first this time around. My friend had her 2nd little boy last week, he was 10 days late whereas her first was only 8 days late. Starting to think its just another old wives tale.

Woohoo for shows ladies!! I had the start of mine, which was only small with a streak of blood, less than 24 hours before labour started. I hear the common rule of thumb is labour tends to start within 72 hours of your bloody show 
June, I hope you don't make it to your sweep, but you go overnight. Violet was born almost exactly an hour before I was due to see the mw for a sweep and to book induction.
Rooting for you jbell!! A tiny bit of blood is still a good sign. It shows your cervix is dilating further.

J Bell this is what worked for me all 3 times.
1st time i was in labour within 12 hours, 2nd time within a similar time and this time within about 8 hours. I was always dilated around 3-4cm before going into labour all 3 times.
Fingers crossed.

Good luck, junebugs! I was in that stupid early labor for almost 24 hours. Definitely rest up, and EAT SOMETHING. I had to deliver my baby girl on a few bites of baked beans and 3 bites of Chinese food eaten the day before. I was begging for food between pushes. Not ideal! Rest and eat!
