Hello
My induction has been brought forward from Sunday to Wednesday, Arghh tomorrow!! This is due to early warning signs of pre-eclampsia and placental failure. I am absolutely terrified of the induction, and the realisation that by the end of the week I will be a proper mum. I have been concentrating so much on getting through the pregnancy with both of us as healthy as possible, that i have not really considered what comes after that.

P.s. those of you who are on Facebook, please don't mention this on there. We are trying to avoid constant text messages after updates.
 
Good luck 🙂 x
 
Good Luck Rachel - can you get your medical team to reassure you about the induction ? I will be thinking of you
 
Oh how exciting Rachel...the very best of luck 🙂
 
Ooh good luck!

You will be absolutely fine - I felt similarly clueless about 3.5 years ago and the result is now sitting on the sofa next to me, eating an apple!

All the luck in the world rach x x be thinking of you
 
Hi Rachel

Although I'm not diabetic I can sympathise from the point of view of induction. I have 5 children and didn't manage to go into labour spontaneously once! All are healthy happy adults now. You may find that labour starts with a jolt as opposed to a gradual meander but the end result is worth it :D.

All the best!!!!
 
Hi rachel, Im glad ur team have acted upon your recent symptoms, least you know that your little one is going to be fine :D Im so excited for you, I hope it all goes well...

ps from my experience of induction, it was very boring waiting on something to happen 🙄 Just make sure U take a book or some magazines etc lol I took my nintendo ds!! anything to make the time pass quicker 😱
I hope the induction goes well and doesnt come to a dreaded c section like me hun lol

Good luck, and I will be thinking of u tomo xxxxxx
 
Good luck Rachel 🙂 Hopefully not too long before you have a little bundle of joy!
 
Good luck for tomorrow!! 🙂 xx
 
Good luck! how many weeks are you now? I'm sure you will feel fine once you have your little baby in your arms 🙂
 
Good Luck for tomorrow Rachael, will be thinking of you, love shirl x
 
Oh how exciting! You'd be nervous now no matter how the baby was coming!

Good luck with everything, the hard work will start just after delivery :D

Love Sarah x
 
Good luck for tomorrow Rachel.
My induced baby is now 24 and living abroad!!

My husband turned to me the night before he was born and said 'what if we don't know how to be parents?'. Good timing! I have to say we were terrified too but now think we are marvelous and am sure you will be too.

All the best x
 
Good luck Rachel! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.
 
Wishing you loads of luck for tomorrow, Rachel!! I hope everything goes well for you!!

Best of luck for tommorrow. It has really been a pleasure to follow your journey through pregnancy and I am sure you've helped loads of people by sharing your experiences.
I hope it all goes smoothly tommorrow and your team take good care of you both.
 
good luck and we are waiting for your story and pictures!!!!
 
So excited and nervous for you.

Hope you and baby and daddy are ok? (everyone forgets about new dads)

Hope the birth goes as well as it can. Will be thinking of you all day xxx
 
Thanks for all your best wishes. We have been told he might not make am appearance until tomorrow, do don't hold your breath for news. I actually got some sleep last night (well as much.as anyone 38+3 pregnant ever does) and am feeling more excited and less scared.

Hope all is good for Chrissie
