Hi Lizzy, i think anything is possible with babies! Did you DR recommend anything?? Acupressure, Acupuncture, Aromatherapy, Bowel stimulation, Herbs, Homoeopathy, Massage, Nipple stimulation, Orgasm, sex with DH(prostaglandins in semen very good at softening a cervix) Visualisation, Walking. Of course check with your healthcare provider to make sure they don't have any issues with anything you try!
I had my appt today and have to go back this sat to have a cardiotograph of the bub and ultrasound to measure the amount of amniotic fluid that i have. Then i'm having a strip and sweep which was mentioned above, i was offered one today but refused it. As i don't want to introduce anything that ma cause infection if poss as i have GBS.
I have started to give myself essential oil massage and got my DH to work on my cervix.. I really hope it will start spontaneously.
Anyway i think there is a chance that things might get going by Thursday week.
I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you... x
Thanks ladies, nothing happening yet, I'm GBS positive also, Dr didn't recommend anything, I have been on the fit ball, walk every morning with my son and husband, had sex!! Talked to the baby!!! LOL..... I don't mind having the caesear as long as the baby is healthy, we discussed this early in the pregnancy due to the things that happened last time, would like to still think it might happen by itself, but settled to know we have a date.... Unfortunately my cervix is not favourable at all, and baby high and free, which also happened last time, the reason also why my Dr wont induce me and because of the EMCS last time too with the scar. Theres still a week, I'm nervouse about the caesearian, even though this time I know whats to happen, not sure if thats better or worse!! My Dr reassured me that if it's planned its easier on your body and you can mentally prepare yourself, also if something happens in the meantime, thats great! Tillie are you due any day?
Hey Lizzy, i'm glad you are feeling good about the poss Caesear, i agree that it is good to be prepared! You sound good. Sometime our bodies can be really frustrating! Seems to work against you, well thats how i feel at the moment!
My due date was 5 days ago.... i just can't believe i'm still waiting for bub to make an appearance! I'm frustrated.
Sending you some love and a big hug... x
Thanks Lizzy!! Still waiting... 40 wks +6 days. I've just come home after having round 2 of acupuncture, i had a session yesterday. Its awful! THe acupuncturalist said that this acupuncture is the most unpleasant to have as its purpose is to get things out or going as you're late! Definitely not fun!
Baby pls come! How are you going?? Any movement from bub??
Hi tillie, well hopefully it gets things going for you! Good things never come easy.....?! No, nothing happening, had some pain and cramps last night and this morning, but nothing. Having a very emotional day, keep thinking about next week, and how I'm going to get through this next week. I'm excited about whats coming, but also KNOW whats coming with the c-section, looking at the 'glass half full' though. At least I have a date and can prepare to some extent. As long as my bub is healthy, and whatever and whichever way it comes is healthy. How much longer will they let things go for with you?
