Ahh talk about teasing!!

I thought that I was in Labour last night - for real! Having some pretty strong cramping and period like pain and couldn 't get comfortable no matter what position I was in. Was up and down all night pacing the bedroom and was getting so excited and then it all stopped! ARGH!

I had my 40 week antenatal yesterday and bub is still not engaged. My MW said that if I haven't had the baby by 41 week mark then she will come to my house for a follow up appointment and do a Membrane Sweep and then if that doesn't solve anything then I will be induced at 42 weeks. She was trying to be sympathetic but it just seems so unfair. I am so uncomfortable at the moment and I have absolutely no energy - I am worried by the time that he decides to come I won't have the energy to push him out. I am also paranoid that the same thing that happened to my friend will happen to me. My friend was made to wait until 42 weeks before they induced her and then she laboured for a day before they realised that her bub wasn't going to fit out of the birth canal and then she had to have an emergency c-section. I was so annoyed for her. If they just induced her at 40 weeks she might have had a chance on pushing him out but they made her wait and she had a horrible experience
I think that they should look at what is best for mother and baby and should really take into consideration how the mother is feeling rather then "policy".

So sorry for the rant ladies! You have all been so helpful but I am just getting really anxious
