And... Nothing

Feb 28, 2011 09:31

So, sadly, and to my utter disappointment, the 25th of Feb (my due date) has come and gone. And now i'm most likely having a March baby instead of a February baby- I really wanted a Feb baby... I'm ready for a Feb baby :( so unless by some miracle i got into labour this afternoon, he or she will be born in March.

Congratulations to all the new mums, there's so many announcement/ birth story posts today...I'm pretty jealous, and a little bit sad to read them- but im completely thrilled and happy for you all.

So my next mid wife appointment is Friday. There going to be doing a....(forgive me if i dont remember the proper term) a 'stretch and sweep' - from what my Midwife tells me, im VERY ready for labour, every thing and one is in the right place and it's just a matter of time, and often a S&S will bring on labour. So i'm hoping it does that for me...and if not, at the same appointment they'll be booking me in for induction.
I have to admit i dont think i'll fight the induction idea.... i dont want one- i've heard from friends there not nice, a lot more painful and fast, but i'm at that stage where i'm really hating the waiting game. I'm exhausted, sore all over, weighed down and just eager to have my body to myself again- as well as meet my baby of course...

I've had friends drop off Castor oil, give me their tips and words of wisdom....but im not eager to have the runs on the birthing bed... and i dont believe a lot of the old wives tales...

ahh...what to do but wait. Sorry for the negative Nancy post ladies.
