I haven't posted on here for a while (been reading though it's hard to keep up!). I'm due on Friday!
Wow, it's exciting (and a bit scary) to see some of you have had your babies now! Congratulations to Dec and Cheshire, and any other recent arrivals I've missed.
Good luck, Madrigals!
My hospital wants to induce me at 40+4, so they suggested stretch and sweeps before that. I had my first this morning. Was quite anxious about it, but it wasn't so bad. Although my baby's too high up and I'm not dilated, so she couldn't do the full procedure. I'm booked for another in a few days, so perhaps this first one will make things favourable for that one.
Haven't had any spotting yet, but I feel a bit achey and "off".
I've only rarely had any BH or contractions. My bump's very tight (even MW said so today) so I think it makes it hard to tell if I get BH. A few times I've thought I had period type pains, but they were mild and so far always went away again.
Been trying all the usual stuff meanwhile to help things along/ease labour! (Sex, raspberry leaf tea, walks, dates which mw just reminded me of today) I'm not sure how much it will help but I'm getting a bit impatient. Think it just helps to feel like I'm doing something. :) I'm uncomfortable, though not unbearably so. It's mainly that I'd like her to come before they have to induce me. :/
