Had my consultant appointment and...

Fook

So for the past few evenings and today been having strong branston hickles, didnt really think about it, today i woke up feel very tired, but also had the hickles today which I thought nothing of but did think was odd...

So i had my appointment today regarding the scan (baby measuring large etc...) When i got there felt well uncomfy, and my tummy kept going hard, damn those Branston hickles!

Anyway the long and short was he is still measuring big, (ok we knew that ), she went out the room to chat with the lead consultant and came back and said she would give me a sweep if my cervix was favourable (ok didnt expect that) but I agreed, she did it and said my cervix was lovely and soft and ooo I was 1cm dialated (Hmmm didnt expect that either)...

The other thing was she booked me in for an induction next Monday (fck me! Deffo didn't expect that ). I asked her would that interfere with me having a water birth, she said only if I had to go on a drip. So i said ok.

Now im sat here thinking god knows what. Im not due til next Saturday, I didnt expect any of this, and now getting periody pains and back ache...

Im also thinking I could go into labour before Monday and now I don't know what to think...

Help me!!!

[JoAnn&Aimee]

oooooh! Yay for being 1cm! Good chance you could go soon!! If not then next Monday shall be your day Sharne!!

 

[flowergirl]

Oh wow Sharne!

It all sounds positive- Monday's a long way off- I reckon you'll go into labour on your own before they put Prostin gel anywhere near you!

Good luck honey and keep us posted!

Do bad moods go with sweeps?

Im in a foul mood now...

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar

 

[Laura_James&Amber]

wow, that was quick! hopefully it won't be long until your holding your little man!

 

[Jollypops]

Wahaaaaay! Go Sharne...
Your bodies already started to do things on its own. It took me 8 days to get from 1cm to 10cm but its different for everyone.
Try not to be upset or moody cos your going to meet your little man at last!!!!
Good Luck with all.
