Please help.
I've will have had the propess tampon thing in for 30 hours at 1am.
I've had midwives examining left right and centre. It's fallen out onto the bed with a load of mucus and put back in.
I've had them do a spectrum(?) to see what was happening, torches and all, and have taken a swab to see if it was waters or not (they don't think it is) and am waiting for the result to come back.
I am not dilated. My cervix is tucked right around to one side. Apparently it's started to soften.
A doctor will come at 1am to take it out and examine me again.
I am so, so sore, I don't think I can keep on having these examinations. Each time they've done one, it's been more painful than the last (and a midwife told me this would be the case).
They've said the doctor will give me my options when he examines me, but I don't know what they are.
What is the next step?
What can I refuse/request?
Thank you.

Oh that isn't a gorgeous baby at all. He doesn't have the most edible cheeks and his little, curled up hands aren't adorable. And Elijah is a rubbish name. And he probably doesn't smell perfect. And I bet he isn't at all snuffly and new and brilliant.

Aww feck it. He's lovely. I am so broody and completely incapable of denying it.

Well done and congratulations. I can't believe how big he is. I hope you are all healed soon and the very best of wishes to you.

He is truly beautiful.

Congratulations Hobby, he's gorgeous. Really glad things went ok for you (in the end!)

Look how squishable he is! Thanks

Hey, mine was 11 pounds 6, you beat me:)

Also a not coming any time soon baby who turned out to be massive and breech. The doctors were utterly awestruck and as they passed him over one said 'bloody hell, I'm glad you didn't go into labour, no way little Hulk here would have been born naturally!'

Well done you Flowers
