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.

oh POO.

she does have very pretty socks. what can we do, does she have internet access on the phone yet?

Nope, some on DH's - she is reading the thread every so often - so everyone wave

Wave

You never know, things could still kick off overnight [hopeful face]

CSWS Just found the thread. Hoping the induction works for you, good luck and sending loads of contraction vibes!!!!

Oh no

she must be so fed up now.....it'll be worth it in the end CSWS!!

@ pretty socks, must find some for my labour bag

and

iy lapin put it away...you might send teh poor woman into labour

just had to pop in and offer support to csws!!! I am missing you on the oct antenatal thread and sending you the strongest labour vibes that i can muster! I love you csws and I'm thinking of you!!!!

If good will from Oct thread was enough to put you into labour you'd have had the baby yesterday. Good luck

Really good luck with it all, I had a brilliant time being induced, the care was great so hope your birth goes really well whatever you decide. I did wimp out and have an epidural though which was fab! (I was planning a homebirth

Oh was hoping for a birth announcement when i got home from work.

You must be fed up csws (and mrcsws). How is dd?

Hi CSWS! Still nothing then?
Nevermind- 09/10/08 is still a great birthdate LOL!

Hope you're not too bored....

UPDATE HELP NEEDED

"Can you all send "shut the fuck up" vibes to the woman who has been loudly on her mobile ALL NIGHT and isn't showing any signs of letting up despite me obviously trying to get to sleep for last half hour"

I have advised her waddling over and telling the woman that unless she shuts her mouth, she will reach in it and yank her baby out that way.

will that help at all??

When she does shut up, she'll probably go to sleep and snore really loudly.

flame, tell her i'll pop in the car and sellotape that l;adies gob for her!

cant belive no baby yet!

Sorry. Not very sympathetic of me. I hope she stops soon.

She has already shut up and turned off the light

CSWS is very impressed and wants to know why the labour vibes ain't workin that well
