Surely 1cm dilated without even having noticed anything is good though right? I wish I knew what I was at mine so we could compare, sorry. But just think, 1cm means you're 10% done already without any pain relief!! Still keeping my fingers crossed it kick starts something for you before Monday xx

Cleaners have just arrived so sods law states my waters will go in 1hr 5 minutes ie just after they leave!

 

[Glowstar]

Awww FT....don't give up hope just yet...my waters broke 3 hours before my booked induction at 14 days overdue with my first Anyhoo no matter what your parents will be here and at least you know the wait is finally going to be over very soon

Lozza - good luck hun

Kel - nothing happening here either

Widger - enjoy the park go down a slide or something

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

FT - did she perform the sweep then if your 1cm? that must be an improvement and you never know it might start things off.

slightly jealous your going in to be induced on sunday and i have to wait until monday, the race is on!!

i guess our bodies just dont want to go into labour naturally.

i am keeping track of movements today. im not feeling that happy with the number im feeling. they are very mild and dont seem to be very frequent. does anyone know how many we are supposed to feel in an hour period?

Kels - sweep next week might do the trick!

Lozza, i guess thats good I kinda figured most women get to 3cm before they are in pain...... er..... not sure sure i got that from im so clueless.

Im not holding any hope that sweep will do anything, but if it does it will be a nice suprise. Im now concentrating on getting my head around having an induction. Healthy mummy, healthy baby.... one way or another i SHOULD have digs in my arms by Tues/weds

I wonder why they didnt tell you ur dilation etc? did they not put a yellow sticker in your blue folder with details on? thats soooooooooo annoying!

PS. how are those contractions coming along...? x

glow - yer the MW did say ''you'd be suprised how many women go into labour JUST before induction'' ..... but i know that wont be me

im still rooting for you Glow.... roll on this afternoons sweep!!!

 

[firsttimer1]

Cupcake - haha you will prob go in on the monday and be out the tues; whereas late next week your all be going ''where ISSS FT?'' cos i will still be there

Maybe we will both have babies on tuesday - march 27th sounds like a lush birthday to me

As for movements Digs is now VERY quiet. They were quiet last night AND this morning. MW said thats natural now and that the baby is fine. Do the sugary drink/lay down thing and see if they give you a poke hunni im sure they are just relaxing because they know labour (one way or another) is approaching.......

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

right im off to drink some cola and lie down. feel a bit scared... (hopefully im just being dramatic)

 

[lozza1uk]

Nah it was the rubbish midwife and student on Wednesday that only wrote my blood pressure and that they'd done a sweep. I didnt even think to ask as I didn't realise you could be dilated before the sweep til I came back on here!
The midwife did ask the student if she could feel the head but I was so busy thinking WHAT, HEAD?!!!!!!! I didn't pay attention to her response as I think I thought she must be joking. I'm so dim sometimes!

Contractions are still carrying on, anything between 5& 10 mins apart and last about 60-90 secs but I can't always switch the app on quick enough to record them accurately!

 

[firsttimer1]

cupcake - let us know hun after ur drink / lay down? remember - if your that worried, call your MW thats what they are there for xxx

Come on baby Lozza

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

well i was just about to ring the midwife when the baby did a big wriggle. movements have only been about 10.30, 10.40 and then 11.30. i will keep on monitoring for a bit...

go lozza go!! not long for you now i think

 

[firsttimer1]

Nicnaks hubby just posted on FB that they are now the proud parents of a baby girl called Amber

so who is left..... rashy, kymied, glow, lozza, cupcake, widger......newfie, me..... we are dwindling LOL

 

[Glowstar]

Lozza deffo sounds like things are progressing it could be that you might not get a ton of show as yours seems to have come away in bits or waters breaking so at this stage I would gauge how you are feeling regarding pain. If they get to the point where they are taking your breath away it's time to phone L&D and head up. 60-90 seconds is a really good length though so just bear in mind you might be progressing quicker than you think so don't second guess anything

I'd love for all you induction booked ladies to go naturally

Mmmm we'll see about the sweep today, not holding out loads of hope because even though it's my 3rd it has been almost 14 years so maybe it's like going back to number 1 again

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

good luck for the sweep glow! what time is your appointment?

congrats to Nicnack! another little girly

 

[Glowstar]

Cupcake that sounds OK to me at this stage considering how little room LO has left. Mine has been quiet most of the morning but he's having a good wriggle now...to be honest though he is the most active out of all my babies so far

Hellloooooooooooooooooooooooo anybody therrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeee

That's what this thread will be like by Sonday

Congrats to niknak

 

[Glowstar]

It's at 3.20pm Cupcake. I'll just be back in time for OH coming in from work where he can give me another S&S

 

[lozza1uk]

Hooray for nicnak!! Love the name Amber but it sounds totally ridiculous with my surname so could never use it (as you're not on FB cupcake my surname rhymes with Gamma but begins with a P! Rules out so many lovely names!)

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

im actually feeling much better now, baby has just wriggled again. Drama over!

i agree its very quiet in here at the mo... do people not realise they are my only source of entertainment!! lol

well as the sun has come out here at last im going to go and lie in the conservatory and read a book in the sun.

will be back to check on progress later (good luck)

 

[Glowstar]

I feel a bit sad that I'm not going to get my little Heidi Ava as this is my last can someone please call their little girl Heidi

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

glow - that is tmi!!!

names are hard arent they lozza!

edit: i liked heidi but hubby said no. maybe a future baby if i can wear him down...

Hey if it worked for Lozza after abstaining since week 16 I'm giving it a go mind you we have DTD all the way through and it's not done anything

 

[lozza1uk]

I liked Heidi too but again DH said no!
I think to be honest with the first bit of plug going the morning before we it probably wasn't that, but who knows!
Just made to the shop which is only about 100m away so now stocked up with food! Unfortunately bumped into my neighbour on the way back who could tell I was having twinges! Was trying to hold a conversation and get into the house ASAP!

When my waters go will I feel a massive relief of pressure that I've currently got everytime
I sit down or is that there to stay?
