    No DTD for me

    Still lots of mucous... going to see GP today to get things started.. the physical pain from the swelling in my legs and the headaches from blood pressure are really starting to get me down.. as ive basically been bed ridden for the last 3 months... AT LEAST!

    Going to talk about options and what he thinks is best for my "toddler" as DP calls him.... cos he is HUGE!! lol!!

    hopefully NOT back later!!! (will get Joel (DP) to post later if something happens!!

    Hey sweetness.
    Ask for a stretch & sweep.

    Your doc will do an internal & sweep the cervix. It can get things going.
    Also, he can let you know how things are going down there.

    Went to GP... Blood Pressure 160/90
    He wrote a letter to the hospital and sent me over there (Just around the corner)

    He explained to me that a natural vaginal delivery is better for both me and bubs providing that my blood pressure doesn't rise too high and bubs doesn't stress.

    Doc wrote this in the letter as one of the things i was concerned about so I'm looking forward to discussing it with the doctors at the hospital when we get the test results.

    Baby is nice and happy on the CTG.. he had a big active stage and then a long sleepy!!

    My BP went down to 138/87 when I was at the hospital.. bottom number is still too high.. Looking forward to knowing what it is when i go back.

    Doctors are going to discuss whether a trial of vaginal delivery is safe for bub and myself.. and obviously depends on how my test results come back as to whether they induce/wait longer/ c-section...

    Will either be back tonight or will get Joel to post whats happening.. xox


    Thankyou for all the kind wishes!

    GL!!! My BP before DS was induced was 160/115 so they were keen to induce (as was I I must say, I had a broken foot and had been on crutches since 28 weeks!)

    Thanks everyone again for their warm wishes!

    We are very very excited...

    Yes its 4am and I'm up... Having quite a bit of pain from cervix opening and loosing alot of mucous with blood... All good signs.. but pains are 10 mins apart and I'm not getting ANY sleep...

    Panadol has done NOTHING.. So i guess i just have to grin and bare it... ooo the joys
