Hi all!

Yep I know the stabbing pain in cervix, vag and bladder VERY WELL, as my bub has been fully engaged on and off since 24 weeks. Unfortunately he has decided to go for a float now I'm overdue and he's only 1/5 engaged, although either his head or hand still comes down for a poke on a regular basis!

So I had the internal this morning at the OB, he stretched and maybe swept, I don't know as it was all a massive rush as he was off to deliver a baby. I was really upset at how rushed it was, and he booked me for monitoring on saturday (41+5) and induction on monday (42). Hmmm. If I want to go beyond Monday I can, I would need daily monitoring, but it would be "against my advice" said the OB. DP is starting to get nervous about post-dates as he has been reading up re meconium etc, so hey maybe it is time. And I have had an extra 7-9 days compared to what many OBs and hospitals require. Well, I've still got 4.5 days to (a) think about it and (b) go into labour spontaneously!!
