Thanks ladies.
I'm hoping for a quick induction but who knows.
The propess is already in. Just sat for half hour now before I can move around.
Still don't feel very nervous just feel really emotional!

Hope its a quick one for you summer. Were they able to do a sweep when they put the pessary in? The MW managed to do a good one with me just before having the pessary, not sure if that helped to make things quicker or not. X

I literally how been trying not to burst into tears all day, I dunno if it's hormones or anxiety or what.
Still losing plug throughout the day (seriously can't believe how much has come out) oh and I'm getting braxton hicks since the sweep too, talk about better late than never!

Hello all!
Propess is in but hasn't made a dot of difference... yet... got a few ladies around me waiting to go to labour ward to have their waters broken, but all is normal for me! I think I will be waiting for labour ward tomorrow, I am literally so excited to meet my little man!
Cervix was nice and soft, but posterior and not dilated, which makes me think I will be waiting until tomorrow!
Hopefully things start moving overnight!

I need to vent. I am in such a foul depressed mood today. 39+2 and ZERO signs of ANYTHING. And if I read one more god damn story about 3rd babies coming at 43 fucking weeks I swear I will just curl up into a ball and die. My mom has to leave when I'll be 41+1 and I fully expect to still be pregnant then. Then my in-laws will be here a week and that leaves me with help and grandparent coverage until 42+2. So I could be still pregnant having used up all my time with family here to help before baby even gets here. And my husband can take a few days off work but that's it. I could be solo with 3 kids just days postpartum and I'm terrified. Terrified. I am so fucking done. And as we can see here it seems a trend for all these August babies to just hang out for weeks after their due dates. I'm certain mine will do the same. By 39+2 with by last baby I'd lost my mucus plug, had been having real contractions for days, and my body was clearing out and obviously prepping for birth. This time? Fucking NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. I am so depressed and feel so defeated.
I SWORE this time I would stay patient and relaxed at the end but I just can't do it.

Kholl, this is my first so I have no experience of what you are going through but can totally understand why you are feeling like you are and you have the right to be feeling the way you do.
Is there anything you can do relax?
Fingers crossed the baby doesn't outstay its welcome and get a move on soon! Xx

Hello ladies! Good luck you guys that are being induced I cannot wait to see birth stories!!
Kholl I know going overdue totally and utterly sucks doesn't it and I think a third baby would also tip me over the edge too, but you WILL have this baby soon, the thing I found the hardest about going overdue was the boredom and waiting! I just didn't know what to do with myself! But THAT day does arrive and even if it's late, its an amazing day!
I haven't really said much about my birth because I haven't had time to sit and write it all down so here goes:
12.30am Monday morning waters broke in bed spontaneously, started contracting straight away.
I rang delivery and they just said wait it out a little longer so my contractions were 1 in every 3 minutes. Around 1.30am contractions coming thick and fast so rang them back and was told to go in to be assessed.
Just before we left I felt another gush of water and it was bright GREEN!!!! Yes the little monkey had poo'd inside me. So on arrival I was assessed and 3cms dilated, which I had been since Wednesday! GRRR!!
So as he poo'd the waterbirth and all that went straight out the window. I was stuck on a bloody monitor. So I contracted away for another 4 hours, and felt the urge to push! Midwife got me on the bed and I started to push. Nothing happened, she checked me and I was only 4cm. She then told me baby had moved and was back to back. I was soooo upset.
I soldiered on for 12 HOURS ON GAS AND AIR!!!! And by the end of that 12 hours, I only managed to dilate to 5cm. By this point the contractions were just consuming my body and I couldn't get any rest from them, so I opted to have the epidural. The consultant came in at this point and said I needed the hormone drip on full to just get me dilating. So I had an epidural and hormone drip fitted.
a further 4 hours went by, and I managed to get to 7cm. By this point the consultant wasn't happy and said if I wasn't fully dilated in 2 more hours time, I would be whisked to have a C section.
2 hours went by and I FINALLY reached 10cm!!!!! As soon as I started to push, his head crowned. He arrived in 8 minutes. Was the easiest part of the whole labour.
He came out coughing and a little rattly in the chest with green goo coming out his nose and mouth but the baby doctor said he was okay! All 8lbs 12 oz of our gorgeous baby George.
Then my catheter filled with blood and they were really worried I had done some serious damage to my bladder.
I had a 2nd degree tear but luckily the midwives could fix it so I was sewn up on the bed there and then.
I then went round to the ward and filled up on toast and tea haha.
The next day, I wasn't allowed to be discharged til at least 6.30 pm because of my catheter problems. So at 6.30 I had catheter removed and had to go and wee 250ml and I managed 500ml. Then the ward did a staff change over, and I bloody well didn't get discharged til MIDNIGHT. But we got out in the end.
And that was how it all happened, it was nothing like my first birth of my daughter which was quick 6 hours on only gas and air. It was really difficult but I soldiered on and made it out the other side! I cannot believe my pregnancy journey is completely over now. I am really smitten with my boy though and Adam and Sofia just love him so much and it is wonderful.
I am done with visitors now so I can actually find some time to come online and get back in touch with my lovely ladies!
Love to you all! xxx
