And she was really nice!
She didn't have any concerns over baby's size or the extra fluid.
She's booked me in for an induction on the 26th - I'm hoping things will start naturally before then (had a hot curry for dinner lol!!).
I would have preferred to have the baby sooner rather than later due to all the discomfort and hip pain I'm feeling, but a week is not long and I'm pleased DH and I now have the end in sight, although she did say it could take 3-4 days for induction to work and there was a higher likelihood of needing some sort of intervention (instrumental delivery/c-section etc) but time will tell!
I asked about having a sweep to hurry things along but she said that's only really effective in women who are 41 weeks or more.
 
Good luck hunny! I'm in the same boat as I've developed diabetes so they want her out. Seeing consultant tomorrow, trying a sweep and should hopefully also get a date for induction too. Like you I'm hoping she'll get out under her own steam before then.

Do you have to stay in when they've induced you do you know?
 
Great news :cheer: There is light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak :lol:
