Congrats Supa and Sunshine! Delighted for you both. We September mammies are doing well for boys, at least Sunshine bucked the trend
The GTT test on Thursday came back slightly high so they asked me to go back in. They were pretty certain that it was being caused by the hormones and had only come on in the last week or so but they wanted me to stay in - to manage it with insulin and also to make sure baby was monitored closely.
Friday (after a night of NO sleep for me) we decided it was probably a good idea to look at induction. I couldn't have taken staying in there a week and a half or more. Also, because baby had so much room to move we wanted to act while he was still cephalic.
Two administrations of gel on Friday, got the sign off for induction Saturday morning, after waiting all day for a bed finally taken to labour suite and things were started off about 9pm when they broke my waters and put me on a syntocin drip. I went without pain relief initially, then gas and air for a while, but it made me sick and I was getting very tired so I opted for an epidural which meant they could turn up the drip further. At 2.58am this morning our lovely little man was born. Not the birth I wanted, but it was quick at least. My chart says that Stage 2 lasted 2 seconds I'd been feeling massive pressure for a while and the urge to push. Suddenly my body was pushing all by itself (with help from Leon who was pushing against the top of my uterus with his feet) and just as they said they'd examine me to see how far I was I said "baby is coming", head emerged about when I finished the sentence and the rest of him followed with the next contraction - with his daddy and three midwives just watching him emerge. No stitches, skin to skin, and breastfeeding straight away, and up walking around straight away.
He is absolutely perfect, a lovely happy, healthy little guy. Full of smiles, doesn't cry much, figured out breastfeeding pretty quickly and because all went so well with the labour, and both of us we're already home with Daddy!

Big congrats Squiggler. Love the name. It was top of our list if we had been having another boy!
Rang the hospital just there and my results show no signs of a kidney infection, so no labour inducing antibiotics for me. Never have I been so gutted not to have a kidney infection
I'm really feeling the cabin fever creeping in. I think I have started to monitor every twinge and pain way too early in the hope that something is happening, so feel quite on edge and constantly disappointed that nothing is happening, even though its just under 2 weeks to my due date still. I tried to get the doctor to give me the odds on my chances of going over given that I was early on my previous two but she wouldn't say as she didn't want to get my hopes up, or otherwise.
I really think I'm going to be last bump standing!0 -

That is it exactly!!
I drop my son off at school (2 mile drive from our village to next village), but hubbie picks him up.
Getting a little worried as Father in law is going away for a week on Monday - and he was to look after son no 1 for a couple of days when I go into labour!!
There are only so many currys you can have in a week lol!!
Hubbies car also failed its NCT yesterday
luckily nothing too serious (1 tyre border line and handbrake failed), but he has till 19th Oct to get it retested. NCT was actually due 25th Sep, but he thought he better put it in early!
Suppose the upside of FIL going away for a week is that hubbie can put his car into the garage and use his Dads car!
Good idea about the pad elaney - may start doing that when I am out and about.0 -
