Goodluck pinkinthestars, hope bubs decides to come soon! Ps. The friend I mentioned who didn't want to get induced too early for her GD is also a midwife so I assume she was pretty informed about the choices she made.

Goodluck to you too pinkhelp... hope to hear some baby news!

Thank you purple yes I really don't want an induction as I'm really wanting to give birth in a birth centre here attached to the hospital and they have strict criteria to be able to, one being induction they don't do inductions there so I'm hoping and praying my body goes into labour by itself so I can birth there, it's an amazing place and so comfortable and big nothing like what I've had in the past, I really want a water birth which I was denied previous two occasions hence why I'm so gun ho on giving birth there so I can have all the things I've been dreaming of for a very long time, or well at least to have a go at it lols

good luck! I hope you get your water birth! I'm still hanging in there. I feeling pretty miserable at the end of this pregnancy. Just ready for it to be over. I know newborns are difficult as well, but it really feels like my body is saying it's done. I have my next OB appt on Thursday and she said she'll do the stretch and sweep so I'm super hoping that works!

Good luck with your stretch and sweep I had that with my first born and he came 48 hours later and I did have one also with my last but he didn't budge lols

That's great news Sharon that things have leveled off a bit. And end is site for you! Thanks for the well wishes. I had some crazy lower back pain for a few hrs last night and was starting to think that i was in early labour but then it went away. I had leg and hip and joint pain too....took a tylenol after a few hrs. All my fingers are crossed that this sweep works!

[pinkhelp]

My first came about 7 hrs after the sweep (but he was 2 days from being 40 weeks) my other 2 it was my second sweep that worked and it took about 6-7 hrs to kick in to full on labour contractions...we'll see this time!!

[sharon]

Ive never had a sweep b4 so not sure what to expect. But even if it doesnt put me into labour ill be gettin induced a cupla days later anyway
Hope urs works on thursday! Why they doin it so early is that standard where your from ? Here they wont usually do it b4 40 weeks unless theres a reason to

Not sure what is standard here or not. I think they'll do it after 37 weeks as long as your already dilated etc. They say it doesn't really work unless baby and body is really ready anyways. If done at 37, 38, 39 etc the likelihood of going overdue and needing an induction is greatly reduced so maybe that's why they do it? Im sure they offer it and then if the woman says no they dont do it. I've just always said yes.

were they all close to 40 weeks BR?

Wow br ur 3rd was loads lighter ? Was he/she early x

Sorry for the delay... the app hasnt been working my end.
1st was born 38 weeks 2nd 39 weeks 3rd 38 weeks and scarlett 38 weeks.
I didnt know when i conceived my 1st. So just went by dates given by the 1st scan which was at 26 weeks which could have been wrong. I think this is especially the case with my 2nd. By lmp and implantation bleed i worked out i should have been nearly 10 weeks. I had some cramping a few days later so went for an early scan they said they couldnt find baby so put my dates back 5 weeks. I really feel now knowing more and with him being my biggest i think he was a slow grower at the start and in fact could have been over due.

How is everyone??? And those beautiful babies???
