Overdue Club

[mrsjskelton]

Come on ladies, how are you feeling?
40+3

It's standard here to offer a sweep at the 40-week appointment. Just double checked in my notes, where there's a breakdown of what happens at each appointment, and by 40 weeks it clearly says "offer membrane sweep, complete Bishop Score."
So obviously it differs from trust to trust. Check your notes to see if you have a similar document?

Congratulations Bee! Tell us more!

My MW was happy at 2 days over to do the examination/sweep - she said it might be pointless (it was) but seemed to be happy to oblige. At the end of the day it takes 2 minutes

This is the relevant page, if it helps:

Thanks all, just had a look in my notes and 40w is "routine" where I am and the sweep is at 41w.

Feel more knowledgeable and empowered already [grins]

2manysweets yeah that's what my notes said! I find it super odd how much is varies!!

running she didn't do my bishops score but I tried to work it out online from the random symbols she wrote down and think I'm about a 2.....is rubbish

What's the Bishop's score and how do I find it?

I just googled it - it's basically how likely you are to go into labour/how likely induction is to work. Based on things like position of cervix, baby's station etc perinatology.com/calculators/Bishop%20Score%20Calculator.htm

So I'm in labour! Will hopefully be checking out of Overdue Club very soon....

Yay good luck running

Good Luck Running X

Fab news running I can see me starting this group and then being the last one in it soon! 41 weeks tomorrow!!

Oh good luck running!

Hope it goes quickly for you!

Day 5,482....still no baby.

Congratulations to those who have gone into labour / had their babies :) I am incredibly happy for you (and of course terribly jealous haha)

Jenjen I feel your pain, my due date buddy from nct went into labour yesterday and had her baby

Midwife appointment today and I know she's going to book me in for an induction how long can I put that off for? I want every chance of going into labour by myself!

mrsjskelton what week midwife appointment is it? My understanding is that you can ask to go to at least 42 weeks without induction

I have a newborn to snuggle! Quick and straightforward labour last night, DD born in the pool with just a bit of gas and air.
A million miles from my traumatic and lengthy first labour. Am so happy - hope your babies are all here very soon too.

Congratulations Running, so happy to hear such good news :)

Congrats running so pleased for you

Oh congrats running!

Really pleased for you that you didn't have another back to back labour.

Enjoy the snuggles

Congrats running!!

Congratulations running!!

Liberty they just keep seeing me every few days now! Induction booked for Sunday which is 40+12 (hoping I won't make it!)

Fingers crossed mrsjskelton. I've got terrible back ache today don't think it's a sign of anything though

Backache definitely a sign keep us posted!
