Thank for filling me in, I've never heard of them so might google :haha:. I totally understand why you want to give them a good go. Just hope they kick things off for you :hugs:
 
Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two hours of seriously strong contractions then a show, then nothing!

Sob sob sob sob
 
That's good, get moving, get hydrated (lots of water) and they will probably come back. Positive thoughts will help, so chase the contractions and get active. The show is a great sign as well, remember that too. Have you got a birthing ball?
 
Yup!! Although the contractions have stopped I have serious pains everytime I move - so something is happening! Just hope it finishes before Monday!

Stupid hospital called this morning asking where I was - my induction was booked for today by mistake!

Where is everyone in here?! I saw eve didn't have a good sweep either yesterday.
 
Ohh goodness, can they still fit you in on Monday? Walking sounds a good idea.
 
Sorry you're still pregnant emma! Walking sounds good, as does driving down a bumpy road :hugs:

I'm fine, still nothing to report and probably won't for a while. Achy hips, not feeling myself etc. but that's about it.
 
Any news from anyone? Strong bh last night but nothing else to report. Emma sorry nothing happened last night but remember your little lady is will be here soon and it'll be very different to having Tom. Different midwives and doctors without the extra worry of her health. Try to have a fun day today so you can remember today as a nice day not a day filled with dread :hug:
 
Thank you. I am tearful mess! But there is still hope I guess - if I discharge myself after induction tomorrow I may still get my homebirth. Thank god for my doula - at least I don't have to deal with the mws.

Looking forward to a nice lunch today.
 
Does that mean she can deliver you even if you are in hospital?
 
Sorry I don't understand the question

Just rang my local birth centre in floods of tears and booked a sweep for four today. She was lovely and said after 7 false starts it must be fear switching me off. She said if I promise to totally distract myself today she will do a sweep. Fingers crossed
 
sorry i haven't been on for a while (using phone now!)
Emma why are they inducing you tomorrow?
If you're so unhappy no decent doctor would perform an induction. Even if there's a valid medical reason they shouldn't feel comfortable doing it until you are reassured and comfortable.
Xxx
 
Emma hope ur ok x can u not hold off induction for a few days have daily monitoring Hun x try to be positive love it's a different pregnancy and no 2 labours are the same I know how u feel cos I didn't want to go to hospital to have kaydon and they were amazing this timeround totally different from Ella x
 
As in if you are at the hospital can the doula deliver your baby rather than their own midwives?
 
Oh Emma :hugs: I really hope the sweep works for you today

Sarah I *think* it's because of the GD even though it's unconfirmed or barely there... Emma did explain to me a while ago but I can't remember [sorry Emma]. They wanted to induce her before her EDD but she convinced them to let it wait because she wants HB

I know you can refuse induction but I don't know how the medical aspect works...
 
Thanks Eve.

When I was having Harry the Consultant wanted to induce me at term because I'd had C-section. I went in and the Doctor that examined me didn't think that one dose of the pessaries they use would work (I wasn't dilated at all) I was really unhappy about this as I knew if I wasn't careful I'd be back in theatre, I said that another hospital was now allowing women to go two weeks overdue even if they'd had a section. Because I wasn't happy he wasn't happy and refused to write me up for the medication (my consent wouldn't have been totally informed as he couldn't answer my questions). I saw the consultant the next day, he wasn't happy with me at all, but agreed to wait a few more days. When I went back I was dilated 1cm, enough for them to break my waters and start the pitocin.

But just on a note about being induced, with Harry I needed pitocin. With George (who was supposed to be a home birth) I was two weeks overdue, I went in and breaking my waters was enough to get me in labour. George's birth was as much like a home birth as I could have had but in hospital iykwim.

That's right Aaisrie it's because of the gd Emma has to be induced :( such a hard call but I hope they can break the waters and do it that way. She can come home then to continue with the labour. Big :hug: Emma hope the sweep at 4 means you don't need it at all.

:hug: to everyone else. x

Do you think any of us will go early??? :wacko: maybe we'll all be over due.
 
It is 10 years since I had George but they were really adamant that once tidy'd broken my waters they didn't want me to go home.
It must be so difficult trying to make the right choice. I remember with Harry not being happy about induction. Now I'm so pleased that we didn't go ahead the night i wasn't happy about it. I don.t think it would have worked and I'm sure i'd have had another section. I'm sure if that had been the case we wouldn't have had anymore so no George, no Archie and no TTC at the moment! When i questioned the consultant about why he wanted to induce at term rather than wait like other hospitals even he admitted that there was no research, its just what he liked to do!
It annoys me really, they play with peoples lives, families, emotions and mental health often without evidence based research!
Sarah breath rant over!
