    Hi girls

    Went in for my scan today and they reckon baby roughly around 6 and half pound mark.Ok saying I was going to ask about being induced today when I went to my clinic for 39 weeks because of my swollen foot and leg.The Doctor said she would have to ask my main Doctor who was looking after me through my pregnancy and explain to him that im stressed and finding my swollen foot and leg painful and can hardly walk on it.But she warned me that he normally likes to wait till 40 weeks to give baby longer time.

    She came back in the room after 15 minutes and said to me that he will induce me NEXT WEDNESDAY (6 days time) OMG!! .I was asking for a week before and hes inducing me at 38 weeks,2 weeks before.Total shock.My husband was well excited on the phone.And now has to bring his time off work dates forward. I am now classed as full term,so baby is a good size too.Wow what a shock.
