Baby now on eviction notice

[Mistyautumn]

I am 36+6 today and I am ready for this baby to come out. I know it is a patience and waiting game but baby is very big. Estimate after multiple growth scans is that baby is currently 8lbs.

I know that there is nothing I can do and it is up to baby when she wants to come out. But I have to have another growth scan next Friday. If baby continues to grow quickly then they want to talk c-section. Up until now I have had a smooth pregnancy and ideally wanted to do my best to have an active labour. I know that things can change once you're there and intervention and c section can happen in any labour. But I just want to give it a go.

Sorry, I know there is nothing do and I am just tired and hormonal and needed to rant. I am going to go and bounce on my ball to try and get baby engaged on cervix!!

Good luck! I'm 39 weeks and ready for this baby to make an appearance!

I am in a similar position misty, 36+6 today with an estimated weight of 8lbs at my 36 week growth scan. I am seeing my own consultant on Thurs as the Dr I saw last week pretty much said 'tough luck'. I am very worried about shoulder dystocia or hypoxia for him and tearing/damage to me so for me I dont want to give it a go! Its not much fun being huge, knackered and hormonal so you have my every sympathy.

I'm having a big baby too according to multiple growth scans I'm currently 37+2.

I mentioned this on another thread but I was recommended to have reflexology from 36 weeks, it's specifically for inducing labour. It feels amazing apart from anything else so well worth it even if it doesn't work, I believe it will though! I am also taking raspberry leaf capsules, bouncing on the birth ball and keeping active.

I went 10 days over with DS but made no attempt to try and get baby moving before EDD as my DH was away until a day before! This time I figure anything is worth a go but I'm staying quite relaxed about it.

I'm 35+2 today, but going to start reflexology specifically for getting it out at 38 weeks. 37 weeks would be too soon for me, and I have a ridiculous amount of faith in it working (naïve fool that I am!). My doula is on call as of 38 weeks, so that's a safe date for me! No idea on size at the moment, but have a scan next Monday.

Going to get induced at 41 weeks due to my age, so definitely needs to be out before then.

I dont think reflexology is a foolproof method, in fact they are not permitted to claim it can bring on labour, but it's bloody nice and relaxing so well worth it. I have been getting it weekly from my midwife team, its fantastic. I'm 39+3 and it hasn't brought baby out yet!

Lalalalalala fingers in ears...

Feeling the pain, I'm 40+3 and desperate to meet baby now! I was absolutely positive that that our PFB would be born at 38 weeks...wishful thinking eh!

Not all practitioners of reflexology are trained in all areas, my practitioner is trained in maternity and fertility reflexology. I was told by the midwife who recommended it who to go to as she is a practitioner herself (but couldn't recommend herself as I was at an NHS class she was running).

Like I say if it doesn't work then it's enjoyable anyway.

It's actually my due date today 40 weeks and I have absolutely no signs that he will be evicting hisself anytime soon! I have no idea why but my worst fear is having a big baby and I know the longer he's in my belly the bigger he's going to get! I know I have no control but it just panics me... 12 days at the most and he'll be in my arms
