Overdueness

Postby epsilon1 » Sat Apr 18, 2015 2:16 pm

Novel situation for me!

Any words of wisdom? I think I'll be offerred a stretch and sweep if I get as far as my next appointment on Thursday, and apparently inductions happen if one goes ten days over, which is not appealing as a prospect.

Walking, walking and more walking. There are loads of old wives tales sex, spicy food etc.... Nothing worked for me to be honest but walking always made me twinge x

You don't have to have an induction, it's your choice. Second walking. Let gravity do its job!

@clothsister thanks for asking, but nothing happening yet.

I'd mind less if it weren't for heartburn, but I'm learning to manage that. Of course last time I was absolutely fine, and assumed I'd go miles overdue. They all come out in the end, I suppose.

Interesting wrinkle is that local maternity unit is being refurbished, with everything crammed onto the ward, so midwife led unit is an even better bet, and it's where we were before too. Hope this doesn't put a spanner in the works!
