comes and goes, but I can talk through it! I guess its just LO moving about in a strange way...

kayzisexpecting · 30/04/2008 10:58

Probably. But maybe its the very start!

sagitta · 30/04/2008 11:45

I like your optimism!

kayzisexpecting · 30/04/2008 11:53

Good. I have lots of optimism.

sagitta · 30/04/2008 12:25

Off out now. really must get cot sheets - although I am struggling to put cot up anyway, so if LO does come s/he''ll be on the floor, I think!
I'll let you know how sweep went.

kayzisexpecting · 30/04/2008 12:49

Hope it all goes well.

moominsmummy · 30/04/2008 14:31

hello - can i join up? Am already 5 days overdue - was induced with DS as went 2 weeks over with him - hoping to avoid induction this time

seeing MW tomorrow and she will do sweep (but only if favourable) - in reality I have resigned myself to baby not arriving for a week yet.

sagitta - let us know how your MW appointment went

Nosnik · 30/04/2008 20:46

Hi moominsmummy, good luck for your mw tomorrow!

Maybe Sagitta's sweep worked cos she hasn't checked in yet!

kayzisexpecting · 30/04/2008 20:56

I hope so Nosnik!

Good luck moominsmummy!

So how long to go Nosnik?

Ayomi · 30/04/2008 22:40

Hello all. Had my little girl on Sunday in the ned when no one was looking!
Good luck to all those still waiting

Ayomi · 30/04/2008 22:40

ned = end

SquonkTheBeerGuru · 01/05/2008 09:30

Congrats Ayomi!

MW told me that the sweep went really well, and she expected me to be in labour within 24 hours. I've been crampy since, but nothing as yet...five hours before the 24-hr deadline passes!

Hope your sweep goes well, MM

MerlinsBeard · 01/05/2008 10:32

SquonkTheBeerGuru · 01/05/2008 10:48

congratulations, Ayomi, I just skipped right over your post I'm sorry.

Well done. Erm... when you say nobody was looking... ?

been to midwife - sweep attempted but not possible as could only just reach the cervix! oh well.....

induction looms yet again........

Carey87 · 01/05/2008 16:12

hi, sorry to post on here, just there are some very knowledgable peeps, had a sweep at 11 this morning and had a very dark brown show about 20 mins ago, baby is engaged 3/5 (at last!) and mw gave me a sheet with my 'bishops score' its 5, is this good?

dilation is 1-2
consistency is Medium
length of cervix is 1-2
position of cervix is Middle
station is -3

is there anyone out there that can tell me what this means?

Ayomi · 02/05/2008 00:06

LOL - i meant no one on this thread
Clearly someone was looking!

Mum2b2BabyRoo · 02/05/2008 11:34

Hello all - I'm joining this thread too if that's okay? 2 days overdue now and VERY impatient! Sweep only booked in for next Thursday - I'm hoping baby will come before then as it sounds horrible! So if you could all make a wish for me that baby comes pronto, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

MerlinsBeard · 02/05/2008 16:20

Carey, i posted on your otgher thread (i think!-i have posted on a bishops score thread before anyway!)

sagitta · 02/05/2008 17:10

Hi Carey - I've no idea what that means, but it sounds good! Still nothing here. 41 weeks tomorrow. It looks like an induction next weekend
Sorry sweep didn't work Moomins. Hi mum2be...looks as if we have all left the happy mums on the april thread!

ruty · 02/05/2008 17:12

I'm 39 weeks now, went and delayed my c section for a week and now having contraction pains. Bugger. Not regular but quite a few today. Now i want a nice calm elective!

sagitta · 02/05/2008 17:23

Ooh, sounds exciting Ruty - good luck. Hope it is contractions!

VictorianSqualor · 02/05/2008 17:33

Ooooh ruty!
Exciting, did you get my email?

ruty · 02/05/2008 20:37

I'll check now VS. Just don't want an emergency c section in the middle of the night during bank holiday weekend! Sod's law. Ah well I'll give VBAC a go I 'spose. Still not regular, but have a feeling something is going on...
