    Honestly, more nervous than first time, don't know why :( didn't have a bad experience or anything.....quite long labour but nothing too awful.

    Wanted to avoid induction if I could and that doesn't look likely now. Think it might just be the hormones playing on my emotions :D

    well maybe after the sweep today you might avoid the induction!

    my consultant was saying mine is going to be 9lb at least! we'l see what they say at next appointment on Monday!

    at least you'll be that bit closer to meeting your little one if they induce you!
    hope appointment went well today!

    How did your apt go today? Did he do a sweep?

    Thanks Ainy & Kauto.

    Bit of an anti climax today :(

    Baby's growth has slowed to average for my dates. My BP was fine so he didn't do a sweep or book induction.

    He asked me if I wanted to but I said no unless medically indicated like last time.

    So came away small bit deflated after a 3 hour wait but sure we'll carry on pressure and all :D

    How's everyone else getting along? :)

    Due (my dates) 11th of March, consultant says 16th, but midwife said I'm def measuring a week ahead! Clarify this by Wednesday! Absolutely shattered today and weird tingling sensation in my feet? On upside found water wipes in my local chemist for €2, buy one get one free so got 14 packs for €14!

    Aw thats a bit of an anticlimax but I suppose if its not medically necessary, theres no point risking going ahead with induction when its not needed, at least you might avoid it now!

    i'm doing good, glad to be finished work, feel like I have more energy, even got back on my exercise bike at home!
    getting a good bit of swelling though, a bit more persistent but it does go away overnight and I haven't had any protein in my urine! i'll just have to see what they say monday,

    That is a bit of an anti-climax when you had told yourself you would be seeing your baby very soon :-( On the brightside hopefully you will get to go into labour naturally yourself now and can avoid induction :-)

    I know it feels a bit deflating (and we'd all like to deflate) but average for dates is good news. It really is. I hear the prostin gel can be awful so as Kauto says you're better placed to hopefully avoid this now.

    I'm goodish. Feel huge and ungainly, despite six weeks to go. The right side of my upper back hurts and my right wrist, fingers and forearm hurt but in general doing really well.

    Thanks Deedless. I feel much better now and I'm glad I have a chance at avoiding induction. I had it on my first and I'd really rather let nature take its course this time if I can at all :)

    I suppose I'm just a bit deflated that I've another almost month to go being as wide as I am tall : D

    March 28 here. Feels like AGES away still. Getting a couple of painful cramps (assume braxton hicks) every day. Only two or three but frankly could do without.

    so had my hospital appointment 36+3, baby still measuring big, 2weeks ahead! but not as drastically ahead as previous, booked for another official scan in 2wks and back to clinic then too so presume they'll have a better idea with that one!
    baby in position and making its way down, no wonder i'v had extra pressure down there!

    At least the baby is not as drastically ahead as before. Hopefully by your next scan in 2 weeks things will have settled. That's great the head us making its way into the pelvis already :-)

    Just popping my head in from January thread to say that the growth scans in third trimester are notoriously inaccurate. My baby was supposedly measuring 7lbs 7 at week 37. He was born at 40+1 weighing 6lbs 3. I would be cautious going for induction if it's only based on weight. I was induced for blood pressure not for weight

    Agreed, my sister was told her little man was underweight by one doctor, massively big by the second doctor, and fine by the next one. Baby ended up being about 3.5 kg. So I wouldn't pay much heed to these estimates.

    yeah i'm delighted baby is heading the right direction and when I asked the doctor she said it wouldn't be common for baby to turn back around when they've started moving down so happy about that!

    they didn't mention anything about induction or anything, I suppose they'l see how things are at the scan and I know the scan can be inaccurate but my cousin went through the same as me and her fella was 10lb 2! I dont fancy that!!

    ha ha, yes!! being off work, mixed with being an emotional mess leaves me eating everything! also had a trip to the loo at about 4 this mornin and felt peckish so had a banana!

    we set up the moses basket and stand yesterday, have it in our room, felt very strange seeing it this morning! going to keep it there so we can get used to not walking in to it!

    Eating is increasing all right. Sadly after being relatively good for the last 8 months its's all chocolate now. Mmm malteasers and ferraro rocher.

    Got the other half to massage my shoulders last night. I've nasty pain under my right shoulder blade. He wouldn't typically believe in massage but he said there was a huge difference in how the different sides felt.

    Have you looked at www.spinningbabies.com?

    Lots of positions you can try to help turn the baba.

    Mine was breech a couple of weeks ago and just one day of doing the breech tilt had him turned. I know there was more room in there then but it could still work for you. Nothing get to lose by trying!

    Trying it for 3 weeks and no movement only a little to the side. I was diabetic but only diagnosis last week so baby is very big so don't think it's much room to move but fingers crossed
