Being induced tomorrow!

Morning Lovely Ladies

After the longest pregnancy known to man (well, 42 weeks but it feels longer) the end is in sight!

I am going into hospital at 4pm tomorrow. Its strange, I've been waiting so long that it doesn't feel real. You may as well tell me its Xmas Day tomorrow & I'd believe you. I will have a baby by Saturday evening...I will have a baby by Saturday evening...I will have a baby by Saturday evening. Tonight is the last night my Hubby & I will eat dinner as a twosome. I keep having "last" realisations.

Midwife said my cervix is very soft & short, she is surprised that I've actually lasted this long. Hopefully that means that induction shouldn't be too long & traumatic cos he's ready to come out anyway.

I don't know what to do today and tomorrow, I don't drive so I'm a bit housebound. I've got the fidgets, goodness knows what I'll be like tomorrow morning - probably climbing the walls!

Please keep your fingers crossed for me x

You'll be absolutely fine hun, just remember what I said about my labour, have a great crap when you're pushing the little one out, it is sooo relieving! And you'll be so grateful as I spent the whole night last night constipated like hell after not being able to crap for a few days! So def make the most of it!!

  • Good luck Pixie. I hope you are as quick as mine was. Went in on Saturday. Was given the gel at 11 and had baby at 7.20 on Sunday morning and i was actually home at about 5 in the evening. Try and rest as much as possible before you go to hospital. Michelle xxx
