CantSleepWontsleep is being induced tomorrow. She's disappointed that she won't get a live birth thread. Come and console her here.

[CantSleepWontSleep]

And whilst you're here, feel free to answer any of the following...

What does one wear for induction - nightie ready for it all kicking off, or normal clothes for wandering around hospital in?

Anything else I should add to my hospital bag that I'm more likely to want with an induction?

If the prostoglandin stuff doesn't work, can I decide at that point to leave it, as I don't want my waters broken or the drip?

Would they be able to tell from a scan whether my placenta was still functioning just fine, whereby a few more days wouldn't hurt?

I'll be 40+5, and the induction is because I have gestational diabetes. It's standard practice to induce between 38 and 40 weeks for this, but I've been 'allowed' to go over because my control of it has been good.

Yay, yay, yay. And you went for the name you had thought you would. Have a good rest and then hope you get to go home tomorrow and spend some time all together. Take it easy but come and lick us into shape on the Oct thread soon!

Yay another boy for the October ladies.

Well done Mr CSWS for the very prompt and informative updates.

I hope you and Duncan are both good and get home soon.

Congratulations!

congrats

Hello Duncan!

Oh and well done to the grown ups

Hurrah!

congratulations on baby duncan and wow at the quick posting

Hello ladies .

Home at last and just grabbing a few mins MN time whilst gorgeous ds is sleeping on my lap.

Will try to find time to fill in the gaps tomorrow, but just wanted to say thanks for all of the support and laughs on this thread. I certainly hadn't expected it to turn out this way when I started it!

And whilst it might have seemed longer to us all, my labour is officially classed as 1hr 10mins!

Well, it's the longest 1hr 10mins of my life

Oh, it must have been easy then!

You written that cheque yet? Sorry I took so long.

Awww Congratulations
Glad you are all okay.

Think it would talk longer than 1 hour and 10 mins just to read the thread!

And I think it proves the quite often babies come when THEY are ready!

Can I have a cuddle? Love new baby cuddles!

lolol at 1hr 10 mins.
delighted for you csws. you should print this thread off for duncan. should i print my threads off for dd2? i didn't see most of them at the time, would they be too frightening for her do you think?

Congratulations x Lovely name x

Not that it's exactly necessary, but have done a birth announcement here.

I think it took me more than 1 hour and 10 minutes to read this thread!

Congratulations

Congratulations CSWS V.Long time for induction you must have been climbing the walls. Still glad all is well and you have a lovely little boy.
