Hi, hope everyone is doing well.
I'm 32 weeks this week and consultant is talking about induction at 37 weeks. It can't come quick enough as my anxiety is really starting to peak. I lost my first daughter at 39 weeks so I'm super conscious of movements, worrying about too much hiccups and worried she will get caught up in her cord. It's so hard to stay sane :(
I go back for 2 steroid injections in 2 weeks so we are prepared in case she needs to come a bit earlier.
You all make me hopeful for my own labor. DD came on time and I also a natural, med free birth -- but it was 23 hours and awful and I was told my labor was pretty unusual (DD dropped to +2 station on a -3 to +3 scale, before I was even dilated to 5, so I spent hours struggling against the push reflex!). Pushed for about an hour, and my only tear was a small one on the outside of my vaginal lips because DD's nails clawed me on the way out lol
Sounds like we could have the same induction date. Mine is October 12th.Quote:

TP that sounds painful!!
Mine didn't turn they were born face up! I had one internal stitch with dd1 but nothing with the rest.
Hope you get a date soon iggle :)
Babybeau it’s good to know even if they don’t turn it’s not the end of the world! I think she’s currently on her side so could swing back to back easily!
Oh we could well be in the same week mamabird! He's talking about the week of 8th October but won't get an actual date till nearer the time. I'm hoping for a VBAC but starting to doubt myself now, whether it would be safer just to go with a section?Quote:

It's such a hard decision. I had my first via csection and all births after have been vbacks. We are attempting another induction and hoping for another vback. My last live birth was an induction and all natural even with pitocin! This one I am thinking I'll go for epidural. Not sure yet.Quote:

Thank you mamabird. Did you go on the drip straight away for your inductions and was it low dosage to start with? I've read so much about VBACs I'm now scared! My first 3 were all inductions via drip and I reacted very well to the medicine and all were born 6-7 hours later. My last lo was a section as he was breech and I had a lot of extra fluid. This baby so far is staying average weight and average fluid so just hoping she remains head down closer to the due date. She is still turning on her side occasionally but not for long so she must be running out of room :)Quote:
