Good Luck for tomorrow Disney and purplejennyrose! Libra1975 and sweetkitty - okay, please tell me some of the boys' names you like! We could come up with a girl's name no problem, but that's not what we need... I can't believe I'm overdue and we still can't decide on a name for this poor little boy. My problem is I feel we 'used up' all our favourite boys' names on DS1 (his was difficult to decide too, but we did at least have it by a few weeks before he was born!)
Well, the 48 hours since Friday's sweep passed this morning with no result, and nothing doing since. I have another appointment with my consultant in the morning, at which point we will talk about induction; I'm still not sure whether it's the right thing to do or not at this point. I'll be 5 days overdue by tomorrow, and every day has felt like a week. I know getting this stressed about it isn't helping, but I can't seem to stop. DS1 was 10 days late, and I was much more relaxed about going overdue that time. I think it's partly that I was late myself, so I was expecting it with my own first baby, but my younger brother was a week early and I had been hoping this one would follow that pattern. And partly that after what happened last time with the 3rd degree tear, I am more worried about what might happen every day that baby is still inside getting bigger and hardening his skull.
I'm sure part of the problem is that I haven't been able to be as active as my mother was. I wonder if any studies have been done to see whether there is a correlation between bad SPD and going overdue - I wouldn't be at all surprised, even if there is also a factor of some people being induced early because the pelvic problems are so bad.
