Nothing exciting to update lol!

Blood pressure fine, urine fine, baby fine. Nothing worrying. They wouldn't do a sweep I expected they wouldn't but still a little disappointed! I have to go back next Friday, and they have booked me into the hospital for induction for Wed 11th Feb if nothing has happened by then That's such a long time away

I'm sorry there's nothing going on right now but I really don't think you'll go until February 11th. Have you been doing any of the natural things to get things moving along? There's evening primrose oil you can take orally and vaginally, red raspberry leaf tea to drink, sex, walking, and I heard fresh pineapple (if you can find it this time of year) works too!

There doesn't have to be anything going on though for you to spontaneously go into labor. With Liam I was only about 1cm and a couple days later my water broke on its own. With Lochy I walked around 3cm for 2 weeks before my membranes were sweeped and I went into labor about 12 hours later.

I guess it doesn't help that all of us are so anxious for you


I really hope jellybaby makes their appearance soon. I know you're uncomfortable, and yeah Feb 11th does seem like forever!

Sex isn't an option for a few reasons. I've been walking but I get so uncomfy so quickly. There's nowhere close by me to buy raspberry leaf tea which is annoying as I'd give it a go. I was told about that last week. I've been sitting on my birthing ball not that I think it helps!!

How about some spicy food for dinner, or try nipple stimulation since sex isnt cant be done..Ive heard it does the same tricks. I hope you dont have to wait till your induction day! COME ON JELLY BABY, your mommy wants to meet you!!

Believe me, Fi, I know EXACTLY how you are feeling. I went to the doctor yesterday and same thing...perfect BP, perfect, heartrate, perfect measurments. Baby hasn't even dropped (he is head down though). It was basically like hearing "Expect to be pregnant forever" I'm losing my mind. I hope jelly baby comes soon cuz I know it gets frustrating.

Caitlyn, you still have 2 weeks technically though.

But I know what you mean, you hit 37 weeks and the midwives drum it into your head "you can go any day between now and 42 weeks", it makes you wonder on a daily basis, whereas if they kept to "2 weeks until you're 40wks and then it's any day" it'd be less anxious and less of a waiting game.

Hang in there hun... jellybaby will be here before you know it. And when it happens, you'll be sooo excited!!!

And I'm sure sitting on the ball helps, cuz my hips feel different when I sit on it now... so sit on it for long periods of time. I heard squats too help and climbing stairs... so all those trips up to your bathroom help too!!! Try the tea and spicy foods. And nipple stimulation I heard works too!!! Good luck hun. Can't wait to hear!

Do you find sitting on the ball hurts your tailbone? I can't sit for a long time but try and sit for 30 mins each day. It's about all I can cope with. Maybe just cos I'm so close to delivery, not sure!

Thanks girlies

I would have to admit, I'm not all that uncomfy right now. Only time I get uncomfy is when the baby moves, it feels like my tum gets bruised with all the wriggling and kicking
