We want labour new, well says she who is laying on the sofa not making the most of her DIY sweep and sex. xx

 

[molly85]

ok how do u do a DIY sweep?

 

[new_to_ttc]

Get your fella to have a poke around hun but you too early I would have thought, you need the cervix to be open or you wont be able to sweep it xxx

Stepped out the front door and it started raining, so we went for a walk without the bike as that would need to be in large open spaces lol Seems to be breaking up again now so may try again later. Need to pop out with the car in a bit to get some groceries (need milk etc too heavy to carry back if I walked), also want to pick a little something up for my friends who's little boy got here before fidget lol I just picked her up a card and saw some 'Im a big brother' cards with badges on they so super cute,. so discretely bought Joshua one of those to go with his Im a big brother t shirt off fidget

All OH did really Molly was find the cervix and see how far in he could go, which wasn't too far as it was about a cm and then sweep, it wasn't uncomfortable or anything for me, but I'd like to think at 40 weeks my cervix was atleast a little bit ready for such activity!! He wasn't rough or anything like that, as unlike the MW we aren't experts and didn't want to do it wrong.

Had soup, didn't want it, had a nap, and am now going to bake some cakes, really is life in the fast lane here!! xx

if it doesnt hurt, it hasn't worked, a successful sweep should be ouchy to say the least and cause cramping after xx

my bf had her baby at 6.30am 6lb 10 ounces, her 7th and first on only gas and air cos she didnt get time for epi stuck in hospital regardless though needs drip to help uterus as risks of hemerage are so much higher when uve had that many, think shes having more trouble with afterpains than she did with the birth, i want baby cuddlessssssssssssssssssssssssss lol x

 

[molly85]

well midwife is having a poke around tomorrow. I can find cervix and think its progressing. if it's not favourable i don't get my induction til it is which is going to kill me. as I can't go anywhere alone. unless it some where like the supermarket where i can get help easily from. pelvis is just to fragile

 

[new_to_ttc]

Awww about bloody time poor lass! She was due same day as me yes? What a dinky weight, thats reassuring

Oh and my sweep was very ouchy, thanks wild, now I dont feel like a wuss knowing it is supposed to hurt pmsl Im sure they should give you the G&A for such proceedures lol

Mmmm cakes! 24 can I order one lol Oh a lemon cake please if you are making them to order lol

 

[new_to_ttc]

ahhh Molly that must be so frustrating. Try not to get your hopes up, and remember if they dont do the induction its for your own good as doing it too soon can result in it failing and that would be a whole load of complications you dont need nor want xxx

 

[molly85]

cake???? i like cake!!!!

i am expecting pain and blood. as she is doing it at home I have the red sheets on lol.

seeif i can bring myself to get the old man juices this evening then make sure i have a bath before she arrives in the morning lol. Couldn't think of anything worse than pulling her hand out with that attached lol

 

[molly85]

it's just the thought of OH going back to work monday noght then having to keep waiting and not knowing when to call him

 

[wild2011]

lol new, yup if its not ouchy it either didnt work or is unlikely too,

yes very dinky indeed lol x

 

[new_to_ttc]

I didnt have any blood hun, although have been warned to expect some over next 48 hours, but if its at all heavier than a bit Im to go straight in given my history.

I think I may have just lost the last of my plug, and if thats not the last of it fudging nora how much is there??? Hopefully thats the baby tunnel all clear for baby now!

 

[molly85]

7 is a scary amount of children. how old are they all?

 

[molly85]

i must google what i am looking for lol

 

[new_to_ttc]

MW chuckled at me because I was like omg ooowwwwww... she said it'll be worth it, it'll result in more pain later! gee thanks! lol

Molly you'll instinctively know when to ring I think, or failing that if it really really hurts and the pains are 4-5 minutes apart then that may be a good time, so you can go in when they about 3 mins apart. But if you being induced they'll check your progress and if he isnt with you then they'll tell you when you getting to call in partner stage xx

 

[molly85]

ah if that goes ahead on time cough cough he prob won't goto work that night. it will take him over half an hourto get home then 20 mins to the hospital i know it should be enough time but still scary

 

[new_to_ttc]

The induction can take hours, or days. I was in hospital and the lady opposite was on day 4 and still no dilation and only 50% effaced! This is why Im so against wanting one pmsl the longer I am in hospital, the longer i am without my little man. He is only allowed to visit during visiting times, and I cant expect the lady who is looking after him to be running around bringing him up to me etc, especially as her child wont be allowed on the ward. But given how I was today on examination, Im really hopeful now for just needing my waters breaking and nothing else
