Maz, I managed to get a S & S last week at 38.3wks pg. The only reason they agreed to then was cause bubs is big and they know I am pushing for a VBAC2 and Ob knows I am aware of the risks. They said typically, they won't even think of doing a s & S till after 39wks. For me, my cx was soft, stretchy and anterior, so favourable, but it was still long. Midwife said a few more days of BH's/pre-labour should sort that out so she was happy to help me along. But I have to be honest. So far everything has stopped again and is now even more off and on. More off since last wed. However, I am asking for another this wed. Since they are only giving me till 40wks to budge this baby, we are trying everything we can between now and then. Our plan is another s &s this wed, if still nothing, then at 40.3 (or whenever) we do the last ditch of breaking my waters. I know then I only have 24hrs before they will make me go for a c/s. But everything else I have tried has failed. We've done sex, chilli, walking, driving along bumpy roads, black cohosh, jumping up and down, squatting, walking and more walking. It's driving me crazy now and so I totally understand where u are coming from. However, if bub is not ready, nothing will work and you will get more frustrated. If it is what you want, go in with a plan of action. Have ur DH back u up and lay out what u want, why etc etc. I hope bubs comes out to play for u soon hon.
