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 Sad . 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?

Oooh so exciting!

BunnyLebowski · 13/08/2014 05:37

I'm back!

Short version: he's here!!! Grin And I'm in love!

Never got to the drip. Never even had a single contraction. His heart rate kept dipping and I ended up having an emergency C Section at 2.30am Shock . A very weird and scary experience.

He's utterly perfect Grin . Tiny (7lb 1oz), loads of dark hair and he's feeding like a champ!

Thank you all for your support. I'll post a pic when daylight allows.

Thanks Thanks
