Yay, Rhydian is now head down

That would explain my bump dropping or changeing shape

Everything is fine, he has had a growth spurt, i was 37cm today and im 36 weeks but still within teh normal messurements so im pleased.

She has requested my MW do a sweep at 38 weeks and she wants to see me back at the hospital on my due date to take about inductions, i tol dher i had a reaction to teh gel last time and she said they do this new thing where its like a tampon, they incert the pessary but its got a cord to it so if i do react badly again they can pull it right out, nice! lol

Hopeing it wont come to that tho, with the MW sweep and DIY ones he will hopefuly come on his own.

Thats good news hun.

Hope all goes well in the mean time. x

Aww great stuff hun, the "tampon pessary" sounds nice

Good news Layla

Why are they offering a sweep @ 38 weeks? Yvanne was saying about DIY sweeps this morning ... how lol they look a bit yak. When will yous tart DIY sweeps?

DIY sweeps? you have to fiddle around up there? how do you do that on yourself? im not sure I could bring myself to lol.

Glad to hear he has turned

I suggested it to OH on MSN after Yvanne mentioned it ... Basically hes not keen

How come they're wanting you to go early?

Jase does my sweeps

They are easy to do once you know what your looking/feeling for. He did loads on Coby, brought on contractions but Coby was stuborn or wasnt ready to come out so they never went in to full labour. Jase felt his head each time he did it, freaked him out at first lol

The hospital want me to go early coz they dont want the wards full over xmas, and the week after is new year so same applys.

I dont mind being early but only if he is ready to come out, so a sweep wont work unless baby and body want it to, so i dont mind having them.

We will start them at 38 weeks, so im defo over the full term mark.

Are most hospitals like that over Christmas Layla? I really would like my lil girl to come before shes due because of the dates too ... But they prob say no as this is my first!

i have no idea hun, not had or know anyone whos had a baby so close to xmas before so this is the first experiance with it.
