38 week update

[MrsCLH]

Hi everyone, quick update, been to clinic today, they are happy with me, still getting the odd hypo but nothing serious. Had an internal exam and cervix is soft but not soft enough to induce before the end of the week when I am still ok to go a little bit longer so induction booked for Saturday evening at 7pm!! They said they do it in the evening cos chances are it will be a while before anything happens so best to try and get a full nights sleep. Bit apprehensive cos hubby wont be able to stay with me after 9pm.

In other news the house move has gone well, we are both knackered but Matt has been amazing and worked so hard to get us straight that I can have a nice rest for the next few days now.

Will keep u posted as and when I can.

Glad that the house move went well and that hopefully you will get a few days rest before the baby arrives.

Will be thinking of you at the weekend - good luck.

Glad everything is going so well for you.

It took my induction over 36 hours to work. So make sure you take a magazine, game or something with you to keep you mind off things. My hubby went home the first night i was in, but they let him stay the second night.

Glad the house move went well. Not long until you meet your little one now!

Thanks for the update, really pleased to hear that all is going well and that you are now esconced in your grand new residence! 🙂 Fingers crossed for you that all goes smoothly 🙂

 

[MrsCLH]

Thanks guys! And thanks Rachel - they said as much at the hospital, so going to head out to the supermarket later and stock up on magazines cos I never normally buy them, will be a nice treat. Better treat hubby to a golf mag as well if he's going to be waiting around too.

Just pottering round the house this morning, putting stuff away but trying not to do to much and trying not to think about weekend too much either!!

Yeah the gels worked to soften my cervix, and the consultant could then reach my waters to break them. I had contraction like pains with th 2nd gel but they werent real labour pains. I had pethidine as it was half 10 at night then and they went away and consultant broke waters the next morning. once she broke my waters though I delivered him within 2 hours so be aware of that.

Enjoy your last few days of pregnancy xx

Exciting news! What a good idea to start inductions late in the day tho. I went in at 9am, first prostin at 11am, and nothing much happened til 5pm, so having that chance to sleep in the early stages would be so good.

It might not be as long as you think tho - I was induced at 38+1, and from first prostin to C being delivered was only 18hrs. In that time, I got to 10cm, pushed for 2hrs and had a section, so you might be surprised!
