Back from my appointment. They said they wouldn't give me a sweep as it's 'too early' but booked me in for one on Friday. Not sure exactly how much my cervix can change in two days, but there we go. Also now have an induction booked for next Friday. REALLY REALLY don't want to get to that point. Feeling really emotional and frustrated and sad and teary - I know I'm only 5 days over but still :S

 

[babydustcass]

too early? are you serious! if they'd actually looked at the NHS guidelines, my mw told me they are allowed to do them from 40 weeks but she only works our health centre on a thurs and fri as we are a small village...!!! I am not surprised you are feeling totally bummed about it, only two more days but still like you say whats the difference. In the UK, MWs are allowed to offer sweeps from 40 weeks... do you think she just didnt have time today and made up the crap about being too early?

sorry it was a better app with some progress for you hun, hope little Eden starts making her way into the world before the weekend so the induction can be totally written off the cards! hugs xx

 

[Sun_Flower]

I know - I even looked up on the NHS website before I went and it said sweeps offered from 40 weeks but the minute she saw on my notes I was 40+5 it was like there was no way. They did seem really busy though so maybe they just didn't have the time. GAH. Oh well, not a lot I can do now apart from wait till Friday. She said that if my cervix is favourable, then there's a 50% chance it'll start labour, and if it doesn't, they'll give it another go early next week. The thing that bummed me out even MORE though is that she said if my cervix ISN'T favourable and they can't give me a sweep, they'll just leave me until my induction, they won't book me in to try again beforehand :'(

if its any consolation, ive read that sweeps only work if youre ready anyway, so if youre ready then youre going to go into labour soon. so it really only starts things off 1 or 2 days earlier than it would anyway.

and (anti induction speech here) if you dont want to get induced then you dont have to, just say no thanks and smile do your research of course but its not a hard and fast rule.

a week is a long time tho, who knows what could happen in that time, you might have your baby by this time tomorrow!

 

[lilrojo]

Yay Cassie so excited for you.. Macie is coming..

So sorry Rachel hope induction doesnt happen and you can get your sweep if need be and Eden comes.. Big Hugs hun.. hang in there.. a little bit longer..

Hope your all having a good day.. Another no plans day for me.. since tomorrow will be so busy and the rest of the weekend..

Ysatis, clomid didn't change when I oed so its possible you haven't yet. So sorry hun, you so deserve a bfp.

Hi ericka, Josephine is doing great, sleeping in 3 hour intervals at night, which I appreciate...and is so darling. I am in love!!

Rachel... wish they would've given you a sweep....they gave me one at 39 weeks...its not like it will do anything unless your ready...you think with how long inductions take for UK woman the NHS would want to save money by offering sweeps early to help your body naturally progress....I hope you go into labor soon naturally...sending you labor

Cassie...how exciting!! are they still 5 minutes apart?? Sending you labor

Andrea, I was thinking last night about it.. And when I first started this cycle I counted my first 3 days of spotting as CD1-3.. I realized later on in the cycle that I probably shouldn't have done that & I was originally supposed to take Clomid CD5-9.. But because I put those first three days down as the start of my cycle, I realized later on that I really started Clomid early on CD2.. I do believe that I O'd, but I think cause I took it too early, I released my egg too early & it wasn't mature enough yet.. I'm going to make sure I take the Clomid correctly this cycle (days 5-9) & hope for the best.. The later you take the Clomid, the better quality the egg is supposed to be & I'm just hoping that that is where I went wrong

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Ysa, that makes sense to me... hopefully next cycle then. (If not this one!)

Cassie, best of luck to you! Can't wait to hear that Macie is here!!!

Rachel-- that stinks... but I guess it's okay if like cran said, a sweep wouldn't help if you weren't ready anyway. Did they actually examine you and see that you aren't ready yet?
With ds, my dr did an exam on my EDD and she said he wasn't ready yet. I had a biophysical profile done and then a non-stress test on 40+3. I was scheduled for another NST on 40+6 and another BPP at 41w... and at that point she said we would discuss induction. So my guess is that she wouldn't've induced me much before 42 weeks either.

I had a weird dream last night where I was talking about average gestations and rhinos and elephants... it was so odd. And in my dream, apparently I had only 6 weeks to go. I was freaking out a little bit.

 

[babydustcass]
