At least that is what it feels like.
Saw doctors on monday at 40+2. Apparently 4cm dilated so she booked me for induction on tuesday morning. (Long story but had mild shoulder distocia last time and doctors can't seem to agree if this baby is big or not , despite numerous growth scans.so she didn't want me to go over too much)
Went in on Tuesday and head was too high to do ARM, so spent the morning bouncing on ball and pacing the corridors to get head down.In the mean time consultants changed and the new one(on paper actually my consultant, not that I had ever seen him before) said the baby was not too big and as my cervix is very favourable he wanted to give me a chance to have a natural delivery and give me another week before induction.
He was very nice and what he said actually agreed with NICE and RCOG guidelines so I was quite happy to escape the oxytocin drip for a bit.
I did have sweep on tuesday when the midwife did the exam and had a bloody show but the baby is stubbornly refusing to budge.
Spending every waking hour bouncing on my ball and drinking raspberry leaf tea.
I'm rather fed up now!
