Been feeling leaky all day so popes on a bad and rang hospital. They said keep it on all night and if still feel wet in the morning to ring my me to get checked out. That was at 11pm

Went to bed and as soon as got into bed dd went crazy and kept have sharp stabby pain in cervix and major backache like period pains it's been 4 hours and I've still got really bad back ache and tummy ache a lot of pressure down low as still feeling rather wet.
Dp is in bed as he has work so don't want to wake him for no reason so I'm bouncing on my ball which is helping the pain slightly
This is my first so I could by completely wrong.
But it certainly feels like something is happening

Oh I'm 39+3

Sorry if this make no sense. I want to try and not take painkillers until I really have too as I'm bouncing I feel more and more pressure

I'm not sure it's a matter of "letting". The hospital can't exactly strap you down and induce you by force - my yoga instructor's oldest daughter was 4 weeks late!

nickeldonkeyonadustyroad · 23/12/2013 21:50

that's the point I was makjng earlier - THEY don't "let" you/me do anything. it's my body and I make the decisions.
they can give ne suggestions based on their experience, but I'm also using research and WHO and NICE guidelines to make my decisions
they say that you're not classed as overdue until 42 weeks and you can choose whether to be induced or go for "expectant management" (which basically means monitoring) after that.

your body, your decision.
you might find it worthwhile to read my threads. you can find it by doing an advanced search for nickelbabe live birth thread (the first one is called "I'm booking this thread early..."

I think the plug is gooey and bloody.

and a sweep won't work if your cervix isn't favourable, but at least the vaginal exam will tell you if you're on your way Xmas Grin

just relax and enjoy christmas.
don't you dare lift a fingr - make them all wait on you hand and foot.
and eat as much chocolate as you can handle Xmas Grin

birdbrain21 · 24/12/2013 17:08

My plug wasn't bloody just a massive lump of gunk! It got dosloged by the midwife examining before she induced me so I guess the same thing could happen by a sweep...

Yeh I've had some come out before it was clear and sticky bit like jelly. Midwife said that could be just a small bit of it.
Haven't had any I the mucus-y stuff yet.

Vegging on the couch tonight. Guna peel the spuds later the rest of the Veg we got is already prepared as I'm lazy this yeah so that all in the fridge so jut a matter of putting in the turkey and the veg so won't take long. Mum will be here to help so all good :)

Happy Christmas Stom. Have a lovely day.

nickeldonkeyonadustyroad · 28/12/2013 19:44

Just realised we haven't heard from Stom for a couple of days - either that means she's enjoying christmas as has forgotten, or she's having/had a baby.
Grin

c'mon Stom, what's happening?
