I think I need some positive thinking or a reality check!
With DD i planned a homebirth , however after four sweeps, the first three resulting in nothing I ended up being induced by having my waters broken as I wasn't progressing. Waters were clear but then dd got distressed and ended up in a drip. . I ended up on my back tied to a machine to monitor dd.
Cue DC2- now I'm 11 days over and planned home birth. I've had 3 sweeps. I had one yesterday and it did something with regular contractions but these have now fizzled out. Midwife said she could have broken my waters. By this one I was 3 cm and bishops score has gone from 6 to 8.
The plan is for another sweep Friday and go in the weekend to have my waters broken.
Aibu to just give up gracefully on a homebirth and accept nothing will happen until my waters are broken!? and to just suggest they do this today/Friday!?
