Brai - don't feel guilty we will all get there in the end ... hope they either call you or have space in 3 hours.

Wishing you all the smoothest labour dust I can find. xx
 
No rooms yet. If they can't get me in in the next 2 hours, they will reschedule me for tomorrow. I am disappointed.
 
Brai hope they can find you a bed soon. Good luck with the induction - size is rarely an indication for a C-section so hopefully all will go well. Will be thinking of you.

Cathryn really hope your baby decides to make a move soon.
 
Brai good luck with the induction. Hope they fit you in soon x

Cathryn, still no signs? Sending loads of labour dust. Will they offer you a sweep soon? (Assuming you want one of course).

Midwife called round today, she'd forgotten some bits for my homebirth pack she brought a couple weeks ago. While she was here I asked her have a quick feel of babys position, I have felt her drop so much lately to the point im struggling to walk she feels so low, so I was curious to know if shes engaged as she was completely free last week. MW has said she is fully engaged, her head is right down.. I dont know how imminent labour is once they are fully engaged but I hope its soon!! lol
 
Good luck Brai hope they get you in today :)

Labour dust to anababe and Cathryn :) xx

Click to expand...

Unfortunatly some women are engaged for weeks .. my baby is lower than fully engaged and I'm not in labor yet..
It's a great sign that baby is ready to come though!
 
Oh i know it could be a while yet.. not too many weeks I hope considering im due in 2wk! lol but im just happy everything is moving along nicely and as it should be!

Shes so active today, it feels like shes trying to escape! :rofl:
 
yay ladies!!! hope you are all very close!!!

brai- i hope they have room for you soon. maybe your dr noticed you have a small pelvis or something? the size of your pelvic bones are not reflected in how big or tall you are. she could also be noticing something else going on, and maybe in her background she has seen it go to a section. you should just talk to her and ask why she was thinking you have such a high chance of section.

my mom had two 9 lbs 10 oz babies without meds just fine, me and my sis. with that said though when she had my brother he weighed 11 lbs 10 oz. it broke her tailbone birthing him, she had to have re-constructive surgery and he was bruised from head to toe. she couldnt hold him right away because he was so covered in bruising. he really should have been a section, but since she had birthed big babies before they thought it would be fine. they really risked my mom and brothers health by not doing a section. im surprised he didnt have shoulder distocia or other problems.

i know the thought of having to recover from a section with a newborn and many other kids is overwhelming. i have thought about it many times! it sounds like she is ok with letting you go vaginally, which is good. i guess i would be asking myself how much i trust her opinion. i would trust my OB completely, but i have a really good one who wouldnt do a section unless it was very needed.

for me, i always want to go vaginally. of course if it puts my baby at risk in any way, even if its just the dr's opinion of what could happen, i will gladly take a section for my baby:hugs:
 
It's a boy!! Zachary was born 12 days early... 4th March, weighing 6lbs 5oz :happydance:
 
Brai I had an emergency C-section following an induction this time and while the recovery is harder than with a natural (my first was natural after induction) I have a healthy baby now and its 3 weeks on now and I am doing much better and coping ok with my eldest as well (and this was after a 10 hour induced labour too) I think ask as much as you can beforehand but mostly go in there wanting a healthy baby and hopefully you will get both the birth you want and the healthy baby, but if not then I'd always rather settle for a healthy baby.

Congrats tickledpink!
 
Hi all, its great to hear about all the new babies - congrats to the new mummies sorry I can't remember all the names cant wait to see some pics as well.

Well I'm still here and getting very fed up, walked to the shop, post box and back today and was almost in tears by the time I got back, hoping that its baby being low that is causing so much discomfort.

Tomorrow is my original due date based on Ov date so I'm hoping some action starts soon, have an app on Monday with both the consultant - to discuss options and MW for a sweep though I'm dreading that really hope I don't need one.

Hope everyone else is doing well and either enjoying the last few days / weeks of being pregnant or else if they are ready things are starting to get going for you.

Brai, hope you've either gotten a bed this evening or they have one for you first thing in the morning - will be thinking of you.xx
 
Glad you got a bed, hope it goes well xx looking forward to baby news and pics
