Hi all!
Just looking for advice or similar experiences really. I'm 41 + 4 weeks pregnant with DD2. My cervix has been 2cm- 3cm dilated for weeks, fully effaced and head has been engaged since about 36 weeks.... but - still pregnant! I've also been having on and off contractions and little twinges for almost a month 😩
I've been booked for an induction on Friday where they're hoping to break my waters to get things moving.
Is there any way of trying to get labour going before then? I feel like I've tried everything and would love to go into labour spontaneously but also am aware of the risks post 42 weeks of pregnancy.
With DD1 I went into labour after a sweep at 40 + 5, but I've had two sweeps now and still no baby! Just feeling a bit deflated as all the people I was pregnant with have now had their babies but mine doesn't want to budge!
