DH and I both liked Heidi... maybe next time?!

Lozza you will continue to feel that pressure now pretty much all the way through...it's a good thing though it means babies head is coming down. The pressure does change towards the end and starts to feel more towards your bum, or that's where you could be feeling it now?
If you are still going like this in a couple of hours I would maybe go and get checked up just to give you a good idea how far along things are.

@ Laura who can only after a few days consider doing it all again

Edited to add: your waters might not actually go until much later on Lozza.

i loved the name heidi until that stupid programme 'The Hills' ruined it for me! lol... serves me right for loving trash TV!

Ive just realised that i dont think i will be able to keep in touch on sunday Im not into phones and do not have an i-phone and am not sure how to use the net on mine..... thats if they have wi-fi.... will try to figure it out tonight

 

[Glowstar]

FT I've only got a crappy phone and can just about manage on the internet with it. It's got wi-fi though. Why not try a test and see if you can get work out how to hook it up to your home wi-fi?
I DID have an all singing all dancing HTC phone but gave it to OH as he uses it more than me

 

[lozza1uk]

You'll have to text one of us FT!

 

[firsttimer1]

Glow - thats what i have now, a HTC! Its a great phone but i cry for the days of the good old humble nokia

OK i linked it and sent myself an email so i know how to connect at home.

I wonder if in the unit will be that easy? Mmmmm. prob not xxx

EDIT: mmm just seen digs HB today was 126..... normally its in the 140s... hope thats ok.... she didnt say anything

 

[firsttimer1]

Thats a good idea lozza! x fingers crossed i will get on net too tho or else i will be boooooooredddddddd. I need you entertaining ladies to get me thru the process haha...altho, at this rate, we will all be in the same position at the same time

 

[lozza1uk]

Thanks Glow, I just feel like something wants to burst but yep, guess that will be a baby wanting to fall out then, doh!

Congrats to Nicnak after days of pain

FT - Sorry about sweep but as I said, my neighbour was in similar position yet her waters broke 36 hours after sweep so she went herself. Also, I had a whole days worth of pain/contractions and was only 1cm so be positive... you've gone to 1cm with no pain

I found this regards -2 (you are better than me at -3)
Fetal station describes the position in of the fetus' head in relation to the distance from the ischial spines, which can be palpated deep inside the posterior vagina (approximately 8–10 cm) as a bony protrusion. Negative numbers indicate that the head is further inside, above the ischial spines.
Sounds like baby is getting further down where it should be.

Also remember that however experienced these midwives are, you are you, digs is digs and you can't ever predict what is going to happen properly. Everybody has a unique experience.

Oh and with regards to the induction, I've had many friends that have had successful and quick inductions too (I know some laddies on here haven't had a great time) so please try not to worry xx

I found this too and after yesterday I am certainly 'unfavourable'

I still think once your parents are on their way home Digs will get its act in gear Such an obedient child already listening to mummy and waiting for grandparents

Cupcake - Glad feeling baby now. It is such a stressful time isn't it.

Lozza - Glad all sounds like it is progressing. By the way, my waters did not break, in fact they had to be broken at the hospital right near the end


So had a lovely morning out in the sun with Daniel running around. Makes me so excited for the summer I am off for a nap now. Need to make most of it.

Well Lozza - I'm hoping that a sweep and dtd after weeks and months of nothing help things along for me too. Positive thinking

 

[lauraclili]

Congratulations Niknak! I'm so glad you had such a positive and amazing experience.

Astrid is 5 days old now and I don't think I've stopped looking at her the whole time. Enjoy!

xx
