Well we arrived to be told we were there for induction. We said that's not what we were told, we thought it was just to discuss it, check baby over and get a date but they said nope it's today and put us on the ward.
After sitting/laying there for 30 mins a midwife came to say they'd made a mistake and we weren't being induced after all! They checked baby and said heartbeat was great as were all my obs. Then she did an internal but said I look so well that she wasn't expecting me to be anywhere near ready.
She got a bit excited as she discovered I'm 2cm (I already knew this from past appointments) and found out I'm 100% effaced. So, I don't need any pessary's or gels and my induction will be them breaking my waters and maybe the drip if needed. She said this would be at 40+12 (Mon) and went off to speak to labour ward to book me in. When she came back she said they're choca on Mon and Tues so was it ok to come in tomorrow at 8:30am.
Yeehaw my looooong wait is almost over. Feels great to finally have a deadline, and glad I don't need the pessary's too!
Thanks to everyone who wished me well, I'm made up! x
