Good morning
I think I am going to get her to do the sweep, but also book an induction for asap, I have had no sleep again, not even a bit of a doze my eyes have literally not shut all night, I can barely eat anything, half a slice of toast this morning was enough to have me feeling like I've eaten a great big roast dinner with all the trimmings and pudding!
I have heartburn like I have never ever had it before, which in itself is bad enough, but coupled with the contractions and this bloody swelling, which is still getting worse, I know it sounds really over dramatic and everything but if they leave me for another week like this I really am not going to be in any fit state to labour in.
Only problem is, just sitting here typing about all my woes has me with tears in my eyes, how am I going to say it all to the midwife without breaking down, and making a complete fool of myself? She is just going to think I have had enough of being overdue and want it over with any which way, she will give me that sypathetic look again and shrug her shoulders and say something as helpful as 'oh it is hard in these late stages' or worse 'this lady I had a few months ago that had......' and then go on to tell me how I should feel better for myself because it isn't as bad as such and such!
God I am moaning again, also can't wait to give birth so I don't moan all the time!
