Going through these fast at the minute!

Good luck me!

Thanks granny I was trying to make sense of the HMRC document and couldn't see for all the jargon! I think it's only when you 'salary sacrifice'. Company haven't said anything to me about vouchers but are continuing to pay their part of the pension (didn't mention paying mine) so have written and email this pm for clarification. My hr dept is useless!!

It's not openly known apparently...I only found out after I had a word with my corporate payroll dept when I wanted to make AVC's to avoid dropping to the lower level of childcare vouchers after I increased my hours...that's how she explained it to me. Meant I could afford to put DS 2 days/wk instead of 1 when I was pg last year with DD. My friend is an HR manager too & she said it's the result of a case that went to the European courts a few years ago...

TMI alert

Had first dose of prostaglandin pessary at half three. Has not worked yet.

Took matters into our own hands (as it were) and have had a sneaky dose of it orally

See if that works, if not, it was quite fun!

Ha ha ha ha mrs that is absolutely hilarious you have made my night
Hope it does the trick!!!

I'm going over the edge in half an hour or so, going to dtd for the first time in six months this better bloody work!

Oh and mrs with my first induction I thought it hadn't done anything but when they checked the next morning I was 2cms and they could get in to break my waters. Don't give up hope it maybe doing it's thing quietly good luck :)

Any word from mrsb

Mrsdog ??? Did you do something naughty?

Congratz to hefner

Im not on facebook either so missing updates

Made my night too

Hey Stigz. Me23 and we are on about the same trajectory in hospital being induced.
We're chilling out watching Harry Potter on our laptop. mrsthedog thought we could help things along with some erm oral medicine erm.

You guys!

Hope it helps speed things up

Thinking of you me hope all goes smoothly for you ?

Baby goats wanting to come out yet?

Was just saying to dp that this our last thursday as a family of three!! I should hopefully have her this time next thursday ... Still in denial i think

In a real strop tonight, and starting to get a banging headache. Baby been quieter all day but now having a party in my uterus. Doesn't it know it's eviction time? Might go have a little cry, don't know why I'm so emotional

Anyone know how to create a new thread? We'll be needing one pretty soon and I have no clue how to do it on my phone!

puppy and mrs you dirty dogs!!!

I can start one but I can't link it if I do. Or do any of the list stuff cos we're in hospital waiting for labour to start properly

Shit.. I have just felt a trickle of wet stuff, bladder empty so dunno if its pee or not ? Doesnt smell like pee but i have drank alot of water today?

Shitting it now put a pad on to see if it gets wet ? Breech baby & waters going is not great really will phone midwife soon

Keep us posted Stigz. Fingers crossed it's either not waters or no longer breach.

Phone mw stigz - as sounds like waters to me. Good luck lovely

Ha ha - the dogs, was that medicine consumed in hospital?!?! You crack me up!

You were spot on yellow ! He's here! We got to the hospital at 2:15 and he was born at 2:43!

He weighs 8lb 4oz and is scrummy! We're in for the night though as he had pooed in his waters. He's doing fab though. He's called james and is a dye date baby! Xx

I can start a new thread now - I can link it, but not copy the formatted list.

New thread:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/2205564-October-2014-thread-16-newborn-squishes-and-some-impatient-mums-to-be

Just called, to put pad on & monitor for an hour then call back ... But as ususl they dont seem overly concerned, just like last time she told "a show" could mean labour could begin in two hours or two weeks - for me it was less than two hours and was nearly pushing out a breech baby in dp's car, so im rather paranoid this time

Stigz that's exactly what happened to me. It turned out a blessing as I had the loveliest most chilled out CS and can remember every lovely detail unlike with my natural birth. So if it comes to it don't despair xx
