Hi everyone!
I've just had my scan and I'm happy to say that everything is looking a lot better The baby seems to have grown nicely in the last two weeks.
So, at the moment it looks as if my hopes for a home birth are back on - hurrah! Well, my reasoning is that because I have been so organised this year and packed a hospital bag, properly I will end up having the baby at home, because in the past when I was so disorganised I had to have the baby in hospital. Anyway, hopefully it won't dip again.
Sorry to hear you have had such a problematic pregnancy, Nutty - if you think a c-section would be better for you then press for it, imo. I do get a little frustrated by the approach of hospital staff. I will be avoiding induction, especially if it is advised before I get to term. If they want to try the gel to get me going, they can - but nobody is going to break my waters or go near me with a syntocinon drip!
Interesting to read the discussion on cervix issues. When I'm not pregnant, mine feels like a plastic button. At the moment it seems to be much higher up than usual, so I guess I'm not about to go into labour. Happily, the night time contractions have stopped for the time being at least! They were making me feel very irritable and cross
