I'll be 37weeks 6days on the 16th.
"Full term" today
It has been a fairly complicated pregnancy, including PROM @ 24weeks which resulted in infection, severe HG, spotting and now bleeds more regulary.
Also going by my charts rather than u/s, the 16 was my original due date so I don't quite mind, especially as bub is measuring big (yes I know they can be wrong) and I have a small pelvic opening.
I had a traumatic birth with DS and he was a normal size weighing in at 8lb4oz, not helped by pelvis and this baby is estimated to be 8lbs as of yesterday and growth scans have shown that bub has been growing an estimated 1 and a half pound per fortnight so going till 38/39 weeks, I'm likely to have another good sized baby. Yes I know people say that no baby is too big to birth but with everything else going on and history with DS, it is best for both me and bub to come out sooner rather than later so I will not be fighting the induction if we make it that far, I'd just prefer not to have to be induced. I'm not afraid of it, just wanting a more natural birthing experience.
I've been DTD, going for long fast walks (boy they are both horrible for pain), bouncing and swaying on my fitball, started EPO and RLT last night (got the go ahead yesterday) and gone on bumpy car rides lol.
Definately not going caster oil, (TMI) been pooping like a trooper all yesterday afternoon/night as it is lol.
