mcchesers - so they still don't know what's going in? Are they thinking the rash and liver thing are related and thats why the induction? A friend of mine had twins and I remember her telling me towards the end she had an awful rash and was covered in calamine lotion head to toe, she did say it went within 24 hours of having the twins though. Thats good news about the head and position clever little boy.
bebejones - what a sad dream for you ((((hugs))))
pigley - aww shame it's not your waters, I have to admit I'm having a lot of erm secretions downstairs and sometimes you go to the loo and think ooh is it a show? and it's not.
Know what you mean about being fed up and wanting to meet the baby although last night when I was getting those funny twinges I did get very panicky, could almost feel the fear rising up told DP I am not having this baby now! I don't know why I feel this panic, I've done it twice before and it's not nice at the time (and then some) but it's the best high ever and I know it will be worth it and all the aches and pains will go. Need to take my own advice though.
Mummywannabee - I had a sweep at 40+4 last time, a lot of MWs won't do them until your 40 weeks plus some even wait another week. Mine offered me one on Thursday (when I will only be 39 weeks). Again IMO it's one of these things I don't think it will actually make you go into labour if your not going to but might speed things up by a few hours IYSWIM. Would rather not have one TBH hurt like hell last time, think she was trying to pull my tonsils out
Tjuice - glad all is well with Elodie
cass - hope your DD had a good birthday
rumpel - aww poor you, having a cold and being heavily pregnant is not nice
polyxene - the difference last time from tearing/not tearing was amazing. With DD1 I just pushed like hell and her hand was by her face which did the damage. With DD2 the MW said she could see the scar start to go so slowed everything down and she supported the scar too, DP said it was really bizarre I had a head hanging out my fanjo for a few minutes and she had started to cry but hey it worked. I think a lot of it was down to a skilled MW as well. My main MW just now is lovely she only stays less than 5 mins away and I so hope she is on call when I go.
I feel bad for having a moan about DP now, he will only really be out until 7 (instead of 6.30) playing football. I think sometimes I get annoyed as his life doesn't change (does anyone else feel like this) I've had to put up with the pregnancy and the SPD and he can go out do his running and football and I cannot even get up the stairs much plus I have the birth to look forward to and BFing while he seems to get the good bits. Suppose it's a man/woman thing.
