Ok bit of a vent as I'm getting impatient!! Am 5 days overdue??DD1 was a week early so was sooooo not expecting this at all!! Thought bub would come at least a week or two early. Have been sitting on a ball 'rotating' a bit to try to move bub along! It's locked in and have been having kinda like period pains for like 2-3 weeks now so getting VERY impatient and anxious! DP doesn't want me going anywhere, feeling useless & bored.....although I know I'll be flat out when bub arrives so I should enjoy it but I can't!
I'm also unsure what to do if it doesn't start on it's own, none of the options the MW suggested sound great, eg, first stretching 'my bits' via an internal, second I think was gel and third is the drip to induce. I ended up having the drip with DD1 after 13-14 hours as she wouldn't come so am wondering if this one is just as stubborn! On one hand don't want to feel like I'm 'making' it come but on the other I'm getting bit worried about it (doesn't help when a MW says the placenta is only designed to last 41-42 weeks), and am VERY uncomfortable, feel like it's going to fall out & my belly button is going to fall off as am still stretching! Any advice if anyone's had a similar experience and what you did? Thanks heaps
