Ooh Jess, so exciting!! Best of luck with it all :)
Hehe..i also read about freezing a condom with water in it to put in ur undies to relieve pain and swelling..interesting :)
woo hoo Jess not long now!!!!!!!!!
the midwives gave me a frozen pad to put on my stiches from my episotomy, hadnt heard of the condom though!
LOL i read it in "Up The Duff" but also have heard it mentioned in belly chat a few times and in a few threads too..
god u guys can talk, ill b back 2 do personals i just wanted 2 say GOOD LUCK JESS!!!!!! im so excited 4 u!
Bella and i r off 2 playgroup from 10am-12pm then back home where hopefully she'll get sleep coz got an appt at centrelink, yuk! At 1:20pm then a m8's house at about 2 :-( poor bubs will b so tired!
thanks everyone !! how scary, ITS 2DAY lol...
awww the day is finally here Jess :D good luck hun!
thanks trini!
has anyone in here been induced? how does it all work, they put the gel in then what LOL
I think it's 'supposed' to stimulate contractions naturally.
And then if that doesn't work they'll syntocinon drip you.
I *think* - remember Blanche was induced with Emelia too :)
The hospital i went to have these little icepacks in the freezer thats in the kitchen area for the parents, u just put them on top of the pad in your undies
all depends Jess on ur cervix and everything. i was ment to have the foleys catheter put in when i got there at 4pm but as i was 3cms already they just broke my waters then put the drip in.
like Ash said they will most prob use the gels overnight and if they dont bring on labour then u will prob get drip..goodluck hun u will be fine :) wat have ur docs told u??
will be waiting for the annoucement
oh ok thanks blanche! i have just been told that im going to get the gel 2night to see what happens, and if nothings happened by the morning they will give me the drip and i think he said break my waters too... i will prob stay in there overnight because i live by myself, so he seemed to think they will want me to stay in
the birth that i saw when i was on placement a lady was getting induced coz she was 2 weeks over so they broke the ladys water & then put a drip in...then a 2 hour labour still after that the baby was born..i was excited to find out if it was a boy or a girl & after the birth the mother goes to me "you could have asked because we all knew" :D hahahaha
lol Trini!!
hopefully Jaylen will be here tomorrow :) how u feeling Jess? its weird hey cos u just dont know wat to expect! are u having any family in with u while in labour?
