Wow I can't believe that I've made it past my due date ladies! I've been a bit quiet for the last few weeks as we've been moving house and office so I've only just got internet access today. Getting stronger and more frequent Braxton-Hicks these days so it can't be long now
. Can't wait to meet my little girl!
I got offered a sweep this Saturday but I decided to put it off until Monday as I felt that it was a bit premature to start trying to bring on labour at 41 weeks. The midwife I saw was a bit dismissive (she's not the usual one that I meet and I didn't like her attitude that much to be honest) and I felt really rushed into her plan of one sweep and a hospital induction two days later.
So to give us the best chance of a home birth and to take the pressure of having an induction hanging over my head, the plan is now this: sweep on Monday, another sweep on Thursday, and if that doesn't work then I'll be booked in for an induction on Saturday.
Wish me luck girls!
