Congratulations Pikz. Hope you are recovering well and enjoying your first night together.
I'm 41+4 today and was dispatched to talk to my consultant about delaying induction. I've met him a few times before to try to avoid a prem birth this time round so was strange to be seeing him about induction. Anyway I was armed with detective's bmj paper - but still he strongly recommended not going past Tuesday (42+1) for breaking my membranes - but was happy to allow another 24hrs before starting a drip. So thanks for that idea detective. He said he was reluctant to push it further partly because of my age (38). I'm not overjoyed with that but in a funny kind if way it is quite relaxing to have a firm plan, and I am still cleared for a home birth till Sunday night. Also had a good ctg which was reassuring.
Getting quite uncomfortable tightenings now - about 1 min in every 3 or 4 - but they aren't killers. Am knackered and don't know whether to take a paracetamol and try and sleep (as they'll probably fade to nothing in a couple of hours anyway on past form) or get up and stomp around...
