Sorry Nat but gotta go, DP wants my attention for abit. If anything new happens I will let you know.

I can drive, I got a major, when I did the reverse park I finished up with the car about a foot away from the pavement, had only ever done that once whilst I was with my instructor, and he said if you find yourself too far away from the curb, leave it, it is a minor, but if you try to move it closer and then touch the curb it is a major, so you're better off getting the minor obviously, so I left it and she gave me a major for it.

Also got lots of minors that he told me wouldn't be a minor, so think along with my lack of knowledge (spose I should have read that highway code after all!!) and him telling me the wrong things, I ended up failing.

TBH though, I wouldn't have felt confident enough to go out on the roads if I had have passed at that point. We live in the mountains so there are loads of very steep hills to contend with, and because we always took more or less the same route while I was learning, I still to this day don't know how to safely go round aroundabout and turn left or right from it, because the two roundabouts we came across on my learning route, we alsways went straight ahead!

Tosser! Still makes me mad when I think about it lol

You better be making a brew and not on all fours calling for midwives and pools to be set up - get back here NOW missus!!!

NatalieJane · 12/01/2008 11:50

Just incase......

LuckySalem · 12/01/2008 19:10

Right ok,

Had a different midwife today, she was the supervisor of midwives and SO good and supportive.

MW came and did another sweep and she could reach the head. Cervix is still long and hard (she's written 2cm in my book) She's also said that she thinks the babys neck is flexed so I need to do more about optimum positioning (which could be why head not all the way down) she says it was definately more favourable this time.

They've booked me in for an induction on Weds night (have to go in for 9pm) but they're sending a MW out again on Monday for another sweep.

However, since she's done it i've had some old blood (quite abit) everytime I've been to the loo so things are starting. Also i'm getting some definate either contractions or BH I'm not sure. It's not really hurting it's just uncomfortable so i'm guessing it's BH's.

I explained I really don't want an induction but if they want me to birth naturally in hospital then I can put up with that as long as they can respect I don't want to be interefered with and want an early discharge which she agreed with but said she can't promise anything as it may not be her that night.

P.S I've just copied this from the other thread.
Thanks for the help with the pool

NatalieJane · 12/01/2008 19:16

OOOOO, I am so excited for you I could almost drink this full bottle of red right now

Old blood is good, don't get too used to the idea of them being BH, they might not be - contractions don't always hurt at first, and sometimes don't hurt all the way through (My SIL didn't have any pain at all with her contractions - bitch!!! )

Lots of bouncing, sex would be VERY good right now (right now, go go go!!!) nipple tweaking 15 mins on, 15 mins off, if I were you I'd be blowing the pool up and getting ready to fill it, (don't however fill it and get in, that can actually delay labour!)

Ooooo I'm so excited

(I promise, BTW, I haven't been on here all day, just nipped back on to see if there was any news and there you were LOL)

LuckySalem · 12/01/2008 19:18

I'm gonna try and not get in the pool until I can't cope anymore. I want to use it as more of a birth aid.

DP wants to feel the babys head like the MW did and perform a sweep which I've had to say no to as I don't know what damage he could do but I've offered sex as a second and thats ok apparently.

LuckySalem · 13/01/2008 09:40

No baby but loads more show this morning (some red blood in it as well instead of the old brown stuff)

laughalot · 13/01/2008 10:22
