Well, it didn't go at all as planned..
She's OP which means she's totally spine to spine and she still isn't engaged
I said I was thinking about declining an induction and they were NOT understanding at all. Told me about the risks and effect on Evie if I declined the induction etc. They have given me ONE extra day So, I'll be induced on 6th Sept which is 15 days overdue What is the point in one extra day?!
They reckon there MIGHT be something wrong with my pelvis and that it's not big enough for her head to fit into (nothing to do with the size of her head, it's the shape and size of my pelvis) hence why she hasn't been engaged at all (yes, they said it was unlikely that Evie was engaged at all at my 38 week appointment and that the MW probaby got it wrong.)
So, Thursday 4th Sept I have to go in, see a consultant and they're going to scan my pelvis and check the measurements to see what is going on in there. If Evie IS engaged, then they will do a sweep, but if she isn't and there is something wrong with my pelvis, it will be a C-section Saturday morning (6th Sept).
I am totally deflated I just feel like absolute shit, I really do.
On the plus side (yes, there is one!) I asked her what the chances are that I'll go into labour naturally, she said that my body is just as likely as anyone else to go into labour naturally, so totally possible! But, as soon as it starts, I'm to go in straight away because if the pelvis thing is right, there is physically no way she will be able to pass down the vaginal canal so they'd have to get her out via a section.
The pelvis thing isn't definite, just a theory at the moment - Will find out Thurs.
PLEASE pray for labour soon for me! I am not impatient AT ALL about meeting her, I'm absolutely fine about being overdue, I just reeeeeally want to try and do things normally
