I don't want to be induced either, but I can't take this bed rest 1 day longer than I have to! Wag I hope your sweep works too and he comes on his own. I don't know if my dr does sweeps. I haven't talked to her about it as I'm only 34 weeks. The dr for ds1 said he didn't like to do them. He was really old school but my dr with ds2 did it two separate times and nothing came of either sweep so I was induced at 39+5. The dr with ds3 was the same as ds1 so once again I didn't get a sweep. So I only have experience with it the 1 time.
-
I only had a sweep with ds2 and I was already 5cm and it did absolutley nothing ... But I figured I might as well try anything tht I can
-
Yep I'm gonna try everything too! I really would like to go naturally for my last baby, but for DH's schedule, induction is best because cell phone service is so spotty at the hospital he works in and it's so darn hard to get a hold of him. Lol plus he is the on call dr the weekend before my induction so he REALLY doesn't want me to go into labor that weekend because it will be nearly impossible for him to make it. I guess induction probably is the best for us. I'm just bummed I'll never know the "excitement" of going into labor on my own! Oh well..........
-
Ya I like the suspense of going naturally but at the same time it's so much better for us to be able to schedule it as well...
-
Ah thorz can't your midwife do a sweep for you? Not a dr thing here either rally but my consultant said to book one x
-
I wont be induced unless i go over the 41ish weeks. I'm really not wanting to go into labour tho as it will mean an emergency c-section with her still being breech. I've stopped the RLT and the perenial massage too as i cant see much of a point at the min :(
-
Oh daltag there's still a chance she will turn wont they book you in for c section before 40 wks? Seems daft if they know your gonna need one ;-(
Hugs the uncertainty is the worst I don't want to be induced but I feel more at ease now I know what is going to happen xxx
-
I'm actually kind of jealous of those of you who can plan ahead of time by knowing when your baby will arrive. I always hated being in "limbo" and basically feeling like a walking ticking time bomb from about 30 weeks on with all of my pregnancies lol.
WantingPink, hope your labor is going smoothly and perhaps you've already got your baby girl in your arms!
-
Southern that's fair enough I quiet like the not knowing but having had two 40 wk babies it only lasts three weeks not months like it does for you poor thing, is Julian your last baby? Do you 'know' I want this mythical feeling but I'm not convinced I'm going to get it ;-)
-
Fish I don't have a midwife..... I'm sure I can talk my dr into a sweep but not until after 37 weeks so I still have 3 weeks to go for that :(
DLtag, I'm still hoping she turns for you xx
Southern I don't blame you for how you feel, I would want to hold em in too if I were you!
Wanting Pink I cant wait to hear an update, I hope all is well with you!
