pmsl.. no chance that would be punishment to me more than him We have waited 3 weeks.. isnt that a big enough gap for the body to have forgotten and feel treated?? I know it feels like a lifetime to me and now I feel super content lol

24/7 & Wud- You might get a sweep at 40 weeks, mine gave me one at 39+6.

Seen the midwife today. Blood pressure high for me but everything else fine. Bubs nice and low down. Had a sweep she said cervix is slightly posterior and starting to efface and still 1 cm. Last week it wasnt effaced at all and totally posterior so a little change, better than nothing!

I've got to ring her on Saturday morning at 9 if nothings happened and she'll give me a 3rd sweep and then i'll be induced next tuesday if nothing has happened by then.

New- I also tried some baby eviction sex this afternoon as well Although didn't orgasm so don't know if it will work lol Normally i can every time but when your mum decides to ring you in the middle of it it kind of puts a dampener on it Plus everything seems less sensitive for some reason!

 

[24/7]

I'll see how I'm feeling on OH's next day off, which is sunday - xx

 

[24/7]

Meow - I definately agree about being less sensitive, the last few times it has been alot of effort for my poor OH for me to O!! xx

 

[wild2011]

meow ur mw is naughty

 

[meow951]

Glad it's not just me then! Lol

 

[Wudluvanuva1]

Yer i was gonna say is that the condition of sex to bring labour on.............that u haven't done it in 9 months ha ha ha!

Cos we've tried & it's done nout
Any other ladies who've recently popped have any words of wisdom to kick start anything?

I do lots of walking (waddling anyway)
I treid most things last time & the only thing to work for me was a sweep
I reckon the mw will say no tomoro but it's worth a try i don't see the problem?
I want to know if i'm progressing at all it's not like it's a proper medical procedure i think i'll cry if she says no

 

[new_to_ttc]

less sensitive? Wow i was over sensitive had to make him pause a few times i made sure I got the orgasams for the uterus hormone thingy, and some spermy guys for the t'other hormone thingy lol.. cover all bases

I think Wud will have to wait until 41wks for a sweep because she isnt on baby #1, weird guideline, but a guideline all the same.

I still dont get how you ladies have made your poor fellas go without all pregnancy pmsl... Ive never felt sexier and hornier in ever! lol

 

[meow951]

Wild- I don't know whether she is naughty or not lol Apparently down here it's standard to do it at 40 weeks.

Its quite crazy how there is so many different rules for different areas. New was saying earlier that where she is they induce at 10 days where as down here i'll get induced at 12. Plus the whole sweep thing, we can have 3 down here and other ladies seem to say that they only get 1 or 2 and not before 41 weeks. Seems a bit unfair!

 

[wild2011]

i dont like the fact the have different procedures in different areas, i do hwoever like the mw's who do them sneakily i know they can get in alot of trouble doing it before they should, but then again any preggo lady cheeky enough to ask is not likely to blub theyve had one when they know their mw was doing them a favour! x

 

[new_to_ttc]

My MW said its sweep @ 40wks for first timers, 41wks for any other babies. And i asked how far they will let me go over (as the full 14 days means my mum will be back yay!) but she said no more than 10, but I know a girl on here is from round here and Im almost certain at the same hospital and she is being induced at 12 days, so it maybe just be high risk pregnancies that the cut off is 10 days?

 

[24/7]

Here is is one sweep at 41 weeks, and induction at 42 weeks. xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

My MW is awesome, she says what she thinks and its matter of fact 9I like that in people no dancing round a subject lol) however she is also very by the book and wouldnt give me a sweep before 41 weeks, however since last weekend and this transfusion stuff she said she'll see what she can do on Friday, she said she shouldnt sweep because of the bleed, but I have a feeling she may do it friday regaurdless she is totally on my side about the hospital being prats! (not that she said it out loud lol)

 

[wild2011]

herer its deffo 41 weeks unless for example like my bf who suffers with spd they start at 39 weeks, one consultant did say theyd induce her at 39 weeks with it, but when she went to that app the other consultant laughed at her and basically said only u know how much pain ur in, u seem fine to me so to stop ur moaning u can start having sweeps, not that theyve worked, shes had 3 now and being induced tuesday, i did get a sweep at 37+5 weeks with leila, but i was in hospital having an internal done due to a bleed and they said argh well ur favourable so might aswell while we in here, it did nothing ne way. but my mw blatently will not do before 41 weeks, cos she can loose her job over it. booooooooooooooooooo should be same across uk me thinks x

 

[wild2011]

if i get my home birth, they will leave me 14 days over, unless i ditch the homebirth at 10 days over and they take me straight in for induction!

 

[Wudluvanuva1]

I had a sweep at 40 + 5 with my first
With my second i went in at 40+3 with my waters leaking & she said as i was in position she would do a sweep

Oh well i can but try my mw is lovely so i know she will if she can but i understand if she can't due to rules but i promise not to blab if she does lol x

 

[new_to_ttc]

It should be one rule for all, but i do respect all pregnancies carry different too, so sometimes its more favourable for one than another. However I do think all consultants should sing from the same song sheet, as i had that exact same thing done to me as your bf wild and its not nice. You get yourself mentally ready, tell yourself the cut off point for the worst of the pain etc and then suddenly its another dr, doesnt care for whats written in your notes and a different decision taken.

 

[Wudluvanuva1]

I'm only so desperate for 1 because i know they work for me both my babies were born within the 48 hours they usually give it wld mean she wld be here for the wk end & i won't be on my own as my husband often works hours away (& i have had fast babies in the past) also more child care options all valid reasons i say lol x

I think the general rule here is sweep at 7 days & induce at 12 days unless there's a medical reason?
But a friend of mine got hers earlier & she only lives down the road? I think it depends on the mw i think they like to leave us to suffer

 

[new_to_ttc]

Very valid! lol

Part of me wants to hang on for my mum, but no matter what they going to induce before she gets back I think so Im thinking if the sweep works least I can labour at home and just go in for baby, once in hospital I am very much on my own and it will feel a long labour if it is an induction, least at home I have the laptop, tv and phone for distraction xx

 

[Wudluvanuva1]

I agree New, do u not have a birthing partner if ur mum's not here? x
