Rat smackers extraordinaire enjoying a festive mince pies and brooking no argument that there will be the occasional sneeze birth before the end of 2013

[SweetieTime]

Ladies I think we need a new festive thread to take us through to the end of the year. And as it will be me to sneeze next –how did it get around to my turn so quickly???-- I thought I would do the honours.

At our hospital is was a second pessary 24 hours after the first if nothing happened......

Fingers crossed!!!

Sorry that message was meant to send ages ago....!?!?

The induction process at our hospital was for a first baby the pessaries 24 hrs apart to a maximum of three attempts.

Apparently for a second baby they tried to break waters first, but they gave me the pessary as I wasn't favourable enough. I had the pessary at 10am and was in labour 12 hours later.

Trix I am really hoping it's fast! There were plenty of ladies on the ward when I was in who were having first babies and were way way faster than I was!!

Can I also wish Too the best for her scan tomorrow. Looking forward to hearing all about it.

Thanks Munxx! Will keep you all posted.

Trix, Brooking hard that things get moving soon! Come on baby! I hadn't realised that the induction process was so long - 24 hrs between pessaries, even. Hope you manage to get some rest while things are quiet - in preparation for a sneeze birth when they get going!

Brooking lots that things get moving for you soon Trix. Or that they have already..!

Too, best of luck for tomorrow! :)

Good luck Too!

Trix hope you manage to get some rest tonight in preparation for the big day!!

Trix that is a long time between pessaries. Although it may be different as you are 38 weeks. Whereas I was overdue, when I was induced I had one at 7am, then asked for a sweep instead at 2pm then had another pessary at 8pm. Was a long day and I was in quite a lot of pain due to them.

Do you know what the plan is? Has anyone discussed it with you?

too can't wait to hear your scan news tomorrow. What time of the day is it at?

induction is loooooong! but my booklet did say it can take 3days.
so tomorrow morning they will take this pessary out and examine me, hopefully its done something then they give another one but its slightly different stuff they leave this for 6 hours. then (if and when there is space) I will be moved to the labour ward where some one will try and break my waters. if nothing still they put you on an oxytocin drip which will (so I'm told) get things going, but can still be slow for some people. so I think I will prob end up having treats on Wednesday.

oh too hope everything goes well with your scan.

Scan at 11.40. Eek! Nervous.

How are you this morning, Trix? Enjoying newborn cuddles yet? Or hopefully getting some sleep?

Trix it's good it's all been explained. That's my one regret about my induction I hadn't a clue what to expect. Fingers crossed it all gets going today. Hope you got a good nights sleep.

Too how exciting? Hope all is well at scan. Can't wait to hear about it.

Sounds like there's a plan Trix! How very exciting!! Hope you have progressed a little over night but still managed some sleep x

Good luck Too!

Did you get a better sleep last night Pen?

Still rooting for you Trix hope you managed to get some rest last night!

Brooking for your scan Too looking forward to your update!

Glad you know what's happening Trix, Brooking it all gets going very soon.

Not long until your scan Too, Brooking for you too :)

keep hope s doesn't hate her jabs too much. they seem so small to be having needles.
well I've just had my other pessary. she said I'm one cm. so at least there's been a change.

Woohoo! Go Trix!!

Trix you are speeding along compared to me, I only reached 1cm after 3 days of contractions :o

go trix! now you've started things'll speed along! is dh there again for the days and just has to go home at night?

Progress Trix :) thats brilliant! Hope this second pessary gets it going!

Keep how did the jabs go?

We're fine thanks Maybe, K has a bit of a cold and possibly a new tooth so she's a little grump but still far too cute :):)

not till 2.20 boo

brookers with babies did they feel unwell post jabs or was it just the horror of the stabbing?
