thanks everyone!! but when does it start getting better?

Olivia has been cluster feeding throughout the afternoons and evenings. At night, she is pretty much constantly feeding. I am really exhausted and ready to switch to formula. Please can you give me some inspiration to stick to it? does this period ever end? :wall2:

positive induction story After having no success with 3 sweeps, I arrived for my induction at 9am on the 18th May. They checked the baby heartbeat and my bp etc and put a pessary in at 11am. The midwife said that they sometimes don't work the first time so don't get my hopes up. She also said I...

:rotfl: too right...that and the praying for pain so we know we are actually in labour!! the things we do :roll:

sounds like your plug :dance:

I have to be at the hospital at 9am to be induced and I'm so nervous! I'm not sure what I will and won't be able to do as I want to be upright and mobile - also wanted a water birth but I guess that is out of the window. Am I still ok to eat in the morning before going in? Should I take...

hey Crackers - any news? I'm hoping to be one of the ladies to have LO this weekend too! fingers crossed for us all xx

poor Kayelle :(

I'm here at 5 days overdue!!! :):):)

have you had any contractions or anything since your update this morning? xx

OMG Kayelle, are you really as far as your ticker says? I can't imagine what it's like to be that late, I really feel for you. How come they haven't incuced you after going 2 weeks over? xx

my first one was on monday at 40+1. 2nd at 40+3 and my 3rd will be at 40+8 xx

It wasn't painful the first time but it was a little bit this time because she was trying to pull the cervix down. I've agreed to have my 3rd one though so I guess they can't be that bad!! it's very quick, a little bit longer than a smear test. Just feels strange, like you need a wee!!

thanks Katie!! Alicia - you'll have to keep me updated, you are only 2 days behind me (I'm 40+3 - my ticker is wrong) good luck! xx
