Oh fingers crossed they are Southwestwhippet - is this your first?
MrsMc82 - we're having a boy too! were you brave enough to buy "boy" things or are you waiting?
Strangest thing has happened. I have, I hate to admit, honestly hated this pregnancy. I've had a really, really crap few months with personal/ relationship problems and had at one stage been diagnosed with ante natal depression. I honestly, through the whole pregnancy couldnt wait for an end. I actually have the days, and then the weeks each Saturday counted down in my phone calender . I read those threads on here where people were saying they were more than happy to wait until due date and though they were off their rocker (sorry!! ) I couldnt comprehend how anyone would be willing to wait!!.
Then bang! all of a sudden (just in past few days) I dont want baby to come (yet). I'm actually worried theres something wrong with me!! Surely at this stage EVERYONE is counting the minutes/ praying for something and with my dd (4) I was MORE than ready by now. Dont get me wrong, I love this baby, I want him very much and am really looking forward to meeting him... just not yet. Feel like bad mummy.
I went 10 days over with dd and had to be induced. Im actually fine with going over that far now again - even though this happening was one of my main concerns through most of pregnancy.
At my last appointment the Consultant said to me - "we've a cut off for this pregnancy, dont we?" (because I had asked at previous appointment what his policy/ timeframe on induction was), and I KNOW he would induce me after 40 weeks if I asked but I told him no, am happy for baby to stay in for as long as he needs (dont want to push him out before his time ifkyim), so hes healthy obviously but understand that if needs be, after week 42 Ill agree to induction because of risk of placental failure.
I MUST be the only one like this at the minute.
Im nuts arent I???
