November Mummy's - It's nearly time

[charliebear]

Charliebear - Thanks hon. Not too much longer for you. If it comes to it have they said when they will book you in?

Bubba - I'm not feeling the 36 hours of labour!!!

I hope not!! I'm booked in for a sweep next Tuesday at 41 weeks, and will book an induction date then! If I'm induced i cant go to the MW unit, will be referred to one of two hospitals!! I'm really hoping for under two weeks tho, cant imagine going to the 18th!! x

Oh course you are at a centre aren't you?

What are the hospitals like though? What made you stear clear of them in first place? x x

One my sister had her lil boy at...that one will let you go upto 16 days over and provides specialist care for the North East so is extreamly busy!
The other my cousin has just has her baby at is 16 miles away and never been!! But she had a good experience. Run by the same trust as the unit.
At the centre, its totally relaxed and like a second home. MW with you from the beginning of labour 1:1 care throught - liked it instantly!!

wow, i can ramble.. x

Ooo bubba4 weve got school pics tomo too!!!
Yes homebirth was perfect and im hoping to have another one this time provided i dont go too far over. Ive just been reading about overdue births and some of the babies weights have made my eyes water and made me very scared!!!!
Does anyone else have an irrational fear of going 41-42 weeks and having a huge baby or is it just me?!?!??
Look forward to peoples updates tomo MrsP xxx

What a busy day it's been in here .. tried to catch up.

Went to see the mw today -- I'm 3 cm, 50% effaced, -1 station! Shocked to see that my body is prepping itself; when she offered to check for me, I was so sure she was going to see my cervix had been bolted shut with cast iron locks, with a huge, "CLOSED FOR BUSINESS" sign across it. You never know...

Made me laugh out loud - litterally!

And I can't believe some of your MILs and MW mentioned castor oil, I'm sure it probably will induce labour - for all the wrong reasons, and will just put your heath and the baby's at risk. Who would be willing to risk that? My MW said it caused a lot of emergency c-sections due to fetal distress.

And Alice's MIL - cod liver oil, hehe. which would ahve been off the list anyway as it's a liver product.

i only popped an EPO tablet up there once, couldnt be bothered after that!!

Think it was Ryder who thinks it is worth sticking with the EPO, she said she thinks it helped starting things off.

I think Ryder said she was taking about 4 orally on a daily basis, Mervsmum was a strong advocate for the ... 'insertion' technique thou.

Good luck Mrs P ... I hope you get a early night and enjoy what could be your last night as just a couple.

Sam - Well orginally they were saying he was small, but looking at the graphs after the last growth scan not sure I agree.... lol

It's not my damn fault the bloody car isn't ready, it's not my fault your having to drive to god knows where with work, put your own bloody foot down and tell them yourself!!

Sorry rant over

Morning ladies!!!

Good luck MrsP!!!!

Had another crappy nights sleep DH thought i was in labour cos of all the huffing and puffing i was doing just to turn over, my hips are gonna be none existent soon i'm sure, they certainly can't hold my weight for much longer

Gonna have a lazy day and watch a DVD today i think and if i feel a little better when DH gets in from work go for a walk.

Still having crampy pains but no sign of bubs dropping.For those who have dropped when did it happen???

i might try that think he'd just put some ear plugs in and roll over haha

I was contemplating asking him to give me a push last night when i couldn't get up to go to the loo but thought i'd give him a heart attack cos he thinks i'm in labour everytime i ring or make a noise bless him.

 

[luvbunsazzle]

Bless him, i know Mark has never answered his work phone so fast at the moment, i think it's more to do with the car, than todo with me possibly going into labour, but still sweet!!! He is a soppy git!!
