Was in to Coombe again today. She said she was going to do an internal and I think she caught my expression and asked if I wanted a sweep. I said no and she checked with my consultant and said that she would be happy to leave me to 41 weeks before induction, based on size, blood sugar, and fluid. So it'll be at most another 2 weeks before baba arrives. I'll be walking, swimming, and generally keeping active to encourage movement before that point.
Ah thats good news! Is this your first and how many weeks are you now? I I was there Tues for my 38 week check no mention of any internal or anything but I am due back at 40 weeks so I think I would like an internal then for my own peace of mind to see if baby is even close to coming or not.. God these last few weeks are painful but it will be worth it soon for us

Yes, this is my 1st and I'm 39 weeks tomorrow. The fact that she asked if I wanted a sweep and didn't do an internal when I said no kind of makes me think that her only reason for the internal would have been to do a sweep. I did briefly consider it, just to get stuff under way because it is getting uncomfortable now, and I'm getting impatient to meet this little person!0 -

Lost over a litre of blood and didn’t have enough antibiotic coverage (again!). Also blew out my IV line entirely and bled everywhere so it had to be re sited. Waiting for transfer to the ward still
Massive issues with the epidural. We had the head of anaesthetics as it happens and not only could he not get the spaces easily, even when he got in the tube wouldn’t go in. He’s been in to review with us already and to put a note in my file because it’s highly unusual.
Sounds like you had a bit of an ordeal Mirrorwall, but thank goodness your little fella is here now 0 -

Ah thats good to know, I am not due back in Coombe until 39 +6 and I got the impression they wont examine me until 41 weeks when I asked, so maybe ill just asked for a sweep then! I see the nurse in my GP next week at 39 weeks for normal BP and urine etc but I highly doubt she does any internal bits and bobs.. I go to her on the combined care inbetween hospital visits0 -

Yay congratulations Mirrorwall14!!!
Sounds like you had an ordeal, glad it's over and baby is here safely.
We went for a walk today and it was glorious!!! Had to take it very slow and my section scar/area was throbbing early on but fine now and I'm in bed alone til takeaway arrives at 6.30 Sooo lovely to be outside like a real human after two weeks spent between the hospital and bed at home. The three of us just out and about enjoying our new little family. God I'm so happy X 0 -

Congrats on all the new arrivals!! It’s brilliant coming on and seeing everyone’s news We’re one week in with our little girl and I don’t know what I’d do without her now! She’s absolutely gorgeous and I love seeing her progress daily Husband is starting back at work next week and I hate the thoughts of it, I’ve loved us spending time together as a family.
Regards the healing, I’ve been coming on well, episiotomy and tearing stitches have been healing slowly but surely but today I think one or two may have popped. Has anyone had any experience with this? Hoping to visit the doc Monday if the pain doesn’t calm down0 -
