to go back the hospital?

[BunnyLebowski]

I am 40+12 and yet one more night of absolutely fuck all happening has tipped me over the edge. I am sick of being patient.

I am booked for induction on Wednesday (my choice - I wanted to give the baby the chance to come spontaneously).

My parents leave today not having met their new grandchild . I will have precisely no other visitors when the baby does arrive.

I have felt a reduction in movement since yesterday which my mother assured me was him getting ready to come imminently but that everything online says not to accept as normal.

DP was in a cycling accident on Friday and has fractured his wrist and needs surgery this weekend which means I will be totally alone with no help with DD and a brand new baby in the first days of his life.

I woke up today and burst into tears.

AIBU to go to the Maternity Assessment Centre without ringing first (the person I spoke to last time was so stupid she couldn't manage to write my name down after THREE attempts) and have them check the baby is ok?

Also can I ask for a sweep there?

I had one a week ago on Friday which did nothing.

Sorry for rambling. It's hard to type in a phone through tears.

Can anyone offer me any experience or advice?

Good Luck!

Fingers crossed LazyBabyBunny sticks around for long enough that a space is free at your preferred hospital!

Oh, good luck, hope all is very well and very active.
Get checked out and then refuse decline to leave. Or say "I can feel his head, he is coming, he is coming'. That line worked for me (15min from arrival in overfull labour ward to DS4's arrival)

I expect to sniff a BabyBunny's head in the morning, you hear?!

Good luck!

Awesome OP Have a health birth.

I think OP has a high pain threshold and will have the baby soon by midday tomorrow.

When ds was born I lived with my parents. I'd done something similar and warned dad he'd be getting a knock in the night. At half three I sheepishly knocked on the door and he told me to "bugger off you aren't funny"
I finally convinced him I was serous and ds arrived the following morning at half eleven.

So here's sending you some good 'waking dad'vibes.

Ooooh so exciting, looking forward to an update!

you're going the right thing. good luck.

Ooh how exciting!

marking my place obv!

It is my waters! Woo and eeek!

Everything fine with baby and still no pain so I'm off home again. Will try and have a sleep and maybe a bath and more toast.

Head sniffing a definite - just form an orderly queue and I'll pass him along .

Doh! Strike through fail!

Aw, lovely

Here's wishing you a restful few hours and lots of toast, but then get on with it, woman!

Good luck bunny!

Fingers crossed for you Bunny...and marking place!

yay!

Shall we do a guessing game of what time Baby Bunny will be born!! My guess is contractions starting between 1am-2am and born by 4am

I've only had c sections so my knowledge of labour times is limited to anecdotal information and trashy tv but book me down for guessing at the 10-11am slot for the birth.

What do we win incidentally?

can it be a newborn hug, can it? Can it?

Shameless place marking.. So exciting.

Good luck, hope you sail through it.

Marking place, Im excited!

Id say baby bunny will be here at 6:45am

I knew from all the tears in your first post that things were imminent - I always had a big cry just before labour started :-)
Also didn't kick off with first until 14 days over.

Good luck and keep us posted...

Get some sleep and good luck!

Oooh Liquid I'll happily take that timeline .

Home now eating more toast and watching Archer. The midwife was really great.

My waters are still going but I'm feeling generally really good. Going to try and get some kip (with lots of towels underneath me!).

Where the hell are my contractions??!!

Oh Good Luck ! C'mon Baby Bunny, my guess you'll be with us around 8:30am sooner hopefully for mama bunny

Good luck

So exciting! I'm in the head sniffing queue.

Hope you get some sleep x
