purlease - I think it can still be the next day, but won't be long. Depends what time you are induced too obviously.
I have been having very light contractions - possibly just BH all day. Nothing any where near strong enough to even mention to anybody in RL. TINY bit more fluid leaking but not a lot at all. Not even enough to warrant a pad - although I have changed my underwear once or twice more often than usual - mianly just for comfort though, not because they are too wet.
Looked round a huge car boot today. Saw some lovely newborn bits but I resisted the urge to buy them which i s good because I have LOADS from DD, most in as new condition and have a big box of stuff still with tags!
I didn't go to bed till 4am last night as just before I went to go up, DD woke up and wouldn't settle. Stuck to my guns again like the other night and sat with her and wouldn't let her out of bed. had a few tears etc but it worked and she was not at any point distressed like she is if she is left. Didn't expect it to take that long though! . She also went through about 4 bottles of milk through the night. She is dribbling a lot during the day so might be teething but is perfectlly happy and has no other signs. Was very tempted to give her calpol before bed tonight to help her sleep but didn't want to start doing it for the sake of it really.
Does pineapple juice have the same benefits induction wise as fresh pineapple? Just thinking that juice woul dbe a lot easier than eating rediculous amounts of the fruit? I can get through juice without even noticeing it so could potentially drink a hell of a lot of the stuff if I had that as my main drink throughout the day.
Thanks for reminding me of the post birth problems! Lol. I remember being in tears on the loo (even for wee) for about 2 weeks last time. I had an AWFUL cough which meant agony down there everytime I coughed. I also fully wet myself (while not even at home!!!!) a few days after the birth. Something went wrong though as I had huge clumps of blood with it and there was so much liquid it was like a weeks worth of wee! .
Baby not really moving? Although only just noticed! I will see if she moves around when I massage my essential oils on there tonight before bed - that usually sets her off!
Has anybody on here used caster oil? My understanding is that it isn't really very safe? And can be painful and give you bad d+v? But a friend of mine seriously recommends it and used it to give birth on due date for all 3 of hers!
Anybody recomend anything other than walking for getting baby to engage? My hospital won't do a sweep or anything if baby isn't engaged. Bit paranoid about cord prolapse too. I know it is unlikly but I was born with the cord round my neck and spent my fist days in SCU so I guess that is why I am worried.
Sorry for super long post!
