Congrats alapala, and what a fab name (it's on our list too!).
Still here, still having the daily monitoring. Still having show and twinges. More so today and feel really really sick but that's because the baby is currently trying out for the 2012 British Olympic gymnastic team, and has been all day. He was blatantly showing off when he was being monitored to the extent he ended up getting very loud hiccups and the MW said 'I did want to assess him through a period of quiet but he's clearly very healthy and there's clearly not going to be a period of quiet so I'm just going to take you off the monitor." (not 'minotaur' as I just typed - don't think they're as effective for assessing baby heart rate)
Grumpy, I reckon at this rate I might be last regardless of whether I choose induction or not!
Had a bit of a meltdown this morning when I tried to get out of bed and had to move my stomach with my hands first to allow me to sit up. Sat wrapped in duvet sobbing and howling (to myself as DH was walking dogs) for quite some time about how unfair it is that the baby won't come out and worrying if I'm doing the right thing re induction etc etc. Not even having to find tissues to mop my tears and snot put me off; I was truly sorry for myself. Felt much better afterwards, and then later on a neighbour I don't really know popped round with some flowers just to cheer me up as she knows I'm overdue and thinks I deserved a bit of a treat.... I nearly sobbed all over her as well, poor nice lady!
Takeaway for dinner here - meant to be barbecue but DH is still rendering the porch (bless him, he's working really hard).
hope everyone's all right - it is much slower on this thread than it used to be - soon we'll all be over with the PN ladies, hurrah!
