HI Princess mom! How are things going with your little girl? Did she do fine breathing on her own being born small and over 3 weeks early?

Raezodal- Sure hope they will induce you! I can't imagine going to 42 weeks! You poor thing! You must be so uncomfortable. I always get the "stretch and sweep" starting at 37 weeks and that usually activates labour for me!

My midwife wouldn't do a stretch and sweep until 40weeks and baby was still sitting so high (my last 2 haven't dropped until I was ready to push) that she couldn't do the sweep. So it did nothing. Hoping today we have better luck. I'd rather not be pregnant till 42 weeks too.

Good luck today! I've checked and my cervix is already 1 cm, but baby hasn't really dropped, i can feel the head but it's not putting pressure on the cervix yet. What size of babies do you usually have?

Aw we dont get sweeps done till due dates earliest here too

The only time i had a sweep was 12 years ago with my 1st. they did at 38 weeks because i was already 2cms dilated at 36 weeks after that on other pregnancys they refused.
Raezodal i have been the same as that the last 3 too didn't drop until baby was well on their way.
Good luck

Very little change from a week ago: baby still high, cervix long and firm, dilated 1cm stretchable to 1.5cm. Hah. But meant midwife was able to do a proper stretch and sweep. So wait and see if that does anything.
Otherwise, ultrasound and nst today to make sure all is well with baby. And induction tomorrow. Dh is away for the weekend with my oldest and midwife and I agreed this was a better choice than risking going into labour while he was gone.
