Hey @HeartvsHead
How are you getting on and how is baby Francesca??
And @Scottish1 baby Milly?
Well nothing happened here yet and it's a bit frustrating. Posted this earlier elsewhere but if you guys read it also good to get your views as to what to do next.
Am 40+4 by my scan dates although 40w on the dot based on dates of my last period (have always been slightly suspicious the scan has me dated too early!).
Anyway, was at the midwife today and am
now a bit stressed out.
They've booked me in for a sweep this Wednesday (40+6) and induction the following Monday (41+4).
The appointment today was all a little rushed and stressful as they were running 2 hours over... I asked for a later sweep and a later induction but it was 'computer says no' based on appointment availability.
The baby is fully engaged and very low, has been for a number of weeks. The midwife then said she thinks it might come by itself.
Based on this I feel like I want to try again to move the appointments - may have more luck phoning them, at least will get the induction moved back slightly.
Trying to decide what to do about the sweep. My husband asked me if it makes any difference whether it's this Wednesday or a couple of days later, as it's not a drastic measure. And I don't know the answer to that really, maybe I'm over-thinking this and having the sweep can do no harm?
what do you think? Would you wait longer or just give it a whirl?
Just want this little baby to come now ❤️🤞
