get this kid out of me!!
I'm really clutching at straws - 40+3 - nothing is working. Baby still is really high up. 3/5 engaged. I had an attempted sweep yesterday but apparently it wasn't possible (my uterus js an impenetrable fortress) so midwife did a "cervical massage" (I have never heard of cervical massage - has anyone had one that brought on labour). I have another sweep booked for the 13th and induction booked for the 16th... Do not want to go this late.
I've tried everything .
- i walked a mile yesterday (I know that's not that much but I have spd and swelling and I am just generally lazy)
-I've been drinking raspberry leaf tea like its going out of fashion
-I ate a pineapple
-I've been bouncing on a gym ball no stop since 7am this morning
-i got the ol' boobies out and expressed a bit
-Ive tried curries (not a big spicy food eater at all)
-I've tried lunges - spd hindered this a fair bit.
-tried dtd - impossible feat as I am sooo swollen.
-Tried scary movies
-Tried tear jerker's (apparently it relaxes
your body when you cry...)
Does anyone have any (other) suggestions what so ever that might help. My reasons for wanting him out are I'm overdue and fed up but most importantly my DD has a school assembly this Friday!! (she's (yr1) and in a school play and is a main character... It will destroy her if we cant at least be there and my brother goes in place of us..
Help!!!
