congratulations DH! Another lovely name too.
And RGee - 8 hours sleep in total? Now I knew things can't be as bad with baby as with pg insomnia, lol!
Wilkie - fully engaged? Nooooooo! You're supposed to be due at the same time as me, you can't go first
Induction - here's my tuppenceworth, but feel free to ignore! I think it's less bad to be induced if you've already had a baby, your body already knows what to do, and it's more likely to go ok. There's also a difference between being just started off (with cream up your fanjo) than being augmented (with synto drip). The cream to start you off is, I believe, uncomfy, but you hopefully then go into 'normal' labour and that's that. Synto is not normal labour, as galmum said, the contractions are very strong indeed and very painful so you either get knackered and end up with ventouse/forceps or you end up with epidural, which means you're lying down and can't feel to push as well (though they can turn ep down for pushing) so more likely to end up with ventouse/forceps. So if (when ) I go over, I won't be too militant about avoiding cream to start me off, but I would definitely rather avoid synto if poss. (dh says he can do the prostaglandin to start me off, but in cows they give it iv not up your fanjo, I told him to take a running jump. I do draw the line somewhere!)
Just back from mw - she reckons I'm smaller than with ds. Totally unscientific, and at odds with the ultrasound findings, but I'm going to believe her because it makes me happy .
