Come here and obsess about mucus, etc.
Have fun.
Try not to swear too much.
Oh actually, go for it.
The phrase "any news?" is BANNED. Offenders will be sat on by the most overdue woman present.

I was induced with both my DCs as my body seems unwilling to go into labour.

DD was at 40 +14 and went great, was very gentle, took a while but was a fab birth.

DS was a week early, after waters breaking. In a different hospital. I felt that they were rushing me, I was on a drip and the MW kept bumping it up. Ended with a CS.

I am convinced that if I had been allowed to go a bit slower that DS's birth would have been completely different. (My gynae said the same thing, she was livid with the hospital)

My experience with induction is that it is fine to kick things off and support the natural contractions but it is important to take it slowly. If I was to have another DC I would be much more forceful about the speed of the induction.

I am hoping that the overdueies are all labouring and not able to post

Hatrick will now have to go to ruddy mass just incase it is God on our side! Catholic guilt never leaves you just hides when you are wanting to be really naughty!

I really do hope babe arrives on your birthday what a grreat present.

DH wants ours on his birthday selfish bastard that would make me 40+10.

He won't oblige in sex because he doesn't want to bring it on before then, as you can imagine things are slightly terse at the mo
