    Hi guys

    Trace went well. Feeling better after taking the pressure off a bit with my smaller goals.

    I can't belive I'll be able to tick the first one off next week.

    Ok, freak out happening today.

    DH has to go away interestate tonight for one night and be back first thing tomorrow. He works in the sort of job where it is non negotiable IYKWIM, he is required to do a certain job that only he can do. Well needless to say I had a meltdown when he told me but he assures me that it will be ok.

    So today, send me all the *stay put bub* vibes you can.

    If I do go into labour I'm going to ask my Mum to come with me. I couldn't do it alone and even though I have no idea how I'll do it without DH realistically I need a back up place.

    So today, I'm doing nothing, no housework, no shopping, nothing. Even just walking sets off BH so for today the TV is on, DS can watch as many cartoons as he likes, I'm doing NUTING. Last thing I want to do is help move things along.

    I'm sure this is a very considerate baby whose going to naturally wait so that he/she can meet Daddy as well! *calm no-labour-until-tomorrow vibes*

    Still here and starting to feel impatient I guess impatient isn't the right word, conflicted is more accurage.

    I think I've made up my mind that at my 40 week appointment on Wed I'm going to get a S&S. If that doesn't get the ball rolling in a few days after that than I think I'll have reached my limit and get induced. I know a lot can happen between now and I could go into labour naturally any time, but I'm starting to get really down about it all. I feel very conflicted about getting baby out safe and sound as quick as possible.

    I can however tick of my next goal to make it past Christmas.

    Make it through Christmas - Big Red Tick.

    Hopefully I'll be feeling a little more positive soon.

    I am glad you feel decided... Now, you've made a decision about Wednesday - try & relax into your body. Enjoy the last short time left of this pregnancy - talk to your baby...

    You are supported and loved.

    Thanks Inannna and Thepixie.

    Thanks guys. I went and had a two hour sleep and I'm feeling much better for it. I just heard about someone I know due on the 9th who just had their baby. I'm due 9 days before then, I just want something to start happening soon.

    Inanna: Sorry I didn't reply to your last txt last night, for some reason it came through really late. Yep I'm on RLT and EPO. You know about me and needles so I'm not going to do accupuncture but someone in here did mention accupressure. I might think about it in the next day or so.
