Woo hoo.. congrats Sweatdream! Can't wait to hear more details and see pics :-)

Just got back from the doctors... am now 3-4cm dilated, so a little progress. Still not in labor of course, lol. My doctors won't let me go past 41 weeks, even if I wanted to though, which I'm honestly fine with. I may even still choose to induce next week at 40, but am hoping it doesn't come to that and he decides to come on his own! There are risks with going too long as well, and due dates are truly just estimates. Even though my water broke with Lyra, I was still somewhat induced in the sense that they had to give me pitocin to help me dilate, since nothing was happening. She came 11 hours after my water broke, and it was a fabulous labor and birth with a perfectly healthy baby at the end. So in the end, I trust my doctors and don't think they would allow me to induce next week if there were risks. Some babies just like hanging out in mommy's tummy :-) Again, really hoping I don't have to make the choice though, and he decides to make his appearance sooner than later!

Robin, my fingers are crossed for you that she starts showing more signs soon!! I can imagine it's different considering you had a failed induction previously. My opinion is to trust your doctor or midwife though, as they generally know more than us and have ours and the baby's best interests at heart! So this will be an attempted vbac then? Was your 2nd a successful vbac? I'm sure the doctors/midwives are even more cautious because of that then too.

I totally agree crazy cat.!
Yes last one was a successful vbac at 40 weeks 4 days. He was big at almost 9 pounds. I did however move to a different city and this is a different midwife than last time. I also stalled a bit during labour so they gave pitocin and I tolerated it great! I think I'd be perfectly fine with an induction.. it's just frustrating trying to communicate that to midwives bc they are so into natural stuff. (Which i also agree with).I agree babies all come when they are ready etc but wirh my last even being over 4 days he had Maconium and it wasn't a perfect birth since they rushed him away to suction out his lungs etc.
First I was induced at 37 weeks and labored for 36 hrs. I truly don't think he was ready to come out.

Wow Robin, that's fantastic that you were able to have a successful vbac! It sounds like you should be successful this time too then :-)

Congratulations Sweetdreams! Xxx

I'm too counting the days now till next Thursday for my c-section. Hoping baby will stay put till then as don't fancy an emergency c-section. My MW brought me a homebirth bag as a contingency plan in case it happens too quick. Last birth took 2 hours from start to finish.
I remember taking a long walk and I'm sure that started things up. And maybe being on my knees cleaning skirting boards ;-).

Thanks daisymoo-- midwife did stretch and sweep yesterday but I still had no changes in cervix. Not dialated just very soft. She said that 3rd babies usually don't drop until labor. So I've decided to just enjoy these last few days of being pregnant since it may be my last pregnancy. I will be napping more and spending quality time with the boys. 😊
I can't believe I only have 9 days left (if she comes on time. Lol)
Also my birthday is march 4.. so if she comes late maybe she will have my birthday. How wonderful!
