7 Days Overdue! - Induction in 3 Days
I really didn't think I'd have to make one of these threads but it seems like I will
Today's my due date and seeing as there is only 4 hours and 50 minutes left of the day I am highly doubting my LO will be on time. I've had no signs bar a few period cramps and a sore back once in a blue moon, no plug lost, no braxton hicks, nothing. I really hoped I would go early, my mum had both me and my sister early and I don't think my auntie went over with my little cousins. Just my luck eh? I suppose I deserve it since I myself have a habit of never sticking to a time schedule if I need to go places
mummy's little boy he is 
I'm just getting so impatient and want my baby here, now! I've tried everything I can think of: amazing sex, nipple stimulation, walking up and down stairs as many times as I can in the day (purposely spreading trips out to get more ups and downs in), long walks, moving from side to side to try and get baby to engage, hot spicy food, cleaning etc. and nothing! I can't seem to find any other safe methods and would never try black or blue cosh or castor oil. So it seems my little man is jut being stubborn, I've already told him he's that handsome already he doesn't need to prep himself any more.
So I've started an eviction thread to get him moving and I'll update it daily to see if there's anything distinctive going on with LO that could hint at anything about to happen. If you ladies have any labour inducing hints or tips let me know please?
18th July - 00.37am
So I'm guessing I'm one day over now that my due date has came and went
Had nothing all day, a few light crampy feelings when in a bath earlier but nothing else. I swept all upstairs, made as many trips up and down stairs without irritating my SPD, ate spicy food, done some squats and nothing! It just seems this little man is determined not to come 20th July - 17.50pm
I just seen the thread about everyone stalking me and I felt kinda bad for not updating. OH has been at mine all weekend
so I've just not been on my laptop or anything recently. I kept meaning to just post a quick update of FB but then baby brain kicked in and I forgot. As for LO he most deinately isn't coming any time soon I don't think I have tried EVERYTHING now! Sex, spicy food, long walks, walking up and down stairs, squats, relaxation, hot baths ... everything! It's so upsetting because last night I was watching X-Men Origins Wolverine with OH last night and LO seemed so content just to sit and wriggle about like daft but had no intention to wriggle his way out. He just doesn't want to meet us I keep getting little back aches every now and then and period cramps, but nothing! They never last and they never come back Got the MW on Thursday for a sweep and for her to arrange an induction. I'm hoping she will take pity on me and let me be induced by the weekend if nothing's happened. Fx'd.21st July - 18.40pm
Baby was moving a lot last night, wriggling, kicking me in the ribs
everything. I think he was reacting to my fear of watching REC 
lol. Yet despite all this movement he still hasn't cottoned on to the fact he should wriggle his way down and start doing something to come meet his family! I seem to have a very lazy baby or a baby who likes winding me up already, I don't know what's worse lol. I've been having a little back pain now and then but it's more uncomfortable than sore, as well as getting period like cramps every now and then - more so after I've been to the toilet for some reason - but nothing ever comes out of them. I don't think I'm dialated at all if I'm honest I can feel LO's head pushing right onto what I am assuming is my cervix whenever I walk though which just puzzles me. I've got a sweep at 8.45 tomorrow so I'm hoping the MW will have some good news to tell me although at this point I am not getting my hopes up. Going to arrange my induction tomorrow as well, I'm hoping it will be within the next few days. I've heard too many horror stories about people who go too far overdue and loose their baby so fx'd that either something happens tonight, my sweep works tomorrow or I get my induction soon 
22nd July - 11.07am
I had a sweep with the MW at 9am today. She said I handled it pretty well and didn't complain or moan or anything. It hurt like a bitch though, the silly woman tried to get me to spread my legs wider than my SPD would allow, resulting in me wanting to punch her in the face! Maybe a bit dramatic buy heyho lol. I checked my notes afterwards though and I am less than 1cm dialated and baby is still 3/5 engaged so no change from a week ago
I'm hoping the sweeps worked, I've had a constant uncomfortable back pain since then but it isn't sore and I've had no contraction like feelings If this sweep hasn't worked I'm getting induced at 2pm on Tuesday (41+3). So atleast I know that in a weeks time maximum I'll have my little one in my arms 23rd July - 22.59pm
So today I was hoping something would happen after my sweep, but alas, it never
I had constant back ache today though and it was uncomfortable bordering on sore, but it progressed to nothing and wasn't coming for so long and then a break like contractions - just all at once. Now it's gone Went to Ayr with my family and walked around down the sea front and up the shops like mad, had some weird spicy soup and spicy curly fries, took country roads up and over bumps and everything but no sign of my little man! Still had no show and I am currently pain free I never thought I'd be upset about not being in pain, shows how desperate I am I've got 4 days until my induction so I have decided to believe that my EDD is actually 2pm on Tuesday, that way I don't feel disappointed if LO doesn't come before then and if he does it's a nice surprise. I really doubt he will though, I genuinely believe I will need this induction, no show, no pains and nothing seems to be working. My cervix wasn't even favourable yesterday. Mother's intuition I'd call it.24th July - 20.32pm
So between 2am and 5am last night I had such an uncomfortable back ache, not painful per say but definately not pleasant. I fell asleep and had nothing again until I woke up around 2pm. At around 2.30pm I went to the toilet and wiped and there was around half a tea spoon of blood on the paper and in the toilet, along with a tiny jellyish looking cube. I got worried about this and phoned MW. Apparently it was normal after my sweep and the amount is nothing to worry about. If it got heavier then I should go into the hopsital and get checked. Since then there has been no more blood which is a huge relief. I went for a bath and LO went nuts! He loves it in there lol. When I was on the phone to OH he went even crazier as if he knew it were his daddy I was talking to
after the bath he has been making some light movements (so definately more than the 10 in 24 hours, nothing to worry about 
). All day I've had back ache, sometimes the pain is worse than others. Nothing I can't handle and nothing I have to take paracetomol for, I've had some period like cramps that have accompanied the back ache, but they are not constant. The pains are ranging from anything between 2/3 minutes to half an hour and are really spaced apart. Hopefully this will be the start of something, fx'd.
freshers week, plus a trampoline plus my knee = a broken nose and possible concussion lol.
I'm a tad accident prone.
