40w+3d! Going mad! 2cm dialited at s&s.
Helloo!
I am 3 days overdue and absolutly going bonkers! I had a s&s yesterday morning and was told that my cervix was very favorable(does that mean for labor or for induction?), and that I was 2cm dialited, but she could easily stretch it to 3cm. I took this as good news, as the day before I had been in to triage with a leaking sensation, which I hoped was my waters(They didnt see anything), and the midwife put in my notes that "cx seen and closed" which I assumed meant my cervix was closed on wednesday evening but 2cm on thursday.. Annnyways! Yesterday I spent all day up and about on my feet walking around shops and what not, was having some good twinges and everything, but nothing progressed last night, this morning when I woke up went to the loo and lost what I am assuming was left of my plug. I had been loosing it for a while, but this was a massive blob(sorry if tmi!). I am still having tightenings but I don't know if they are going to progress to active labor.. I hope so! Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did the s&s set you off after 24hrs? I have tried all the old wives tale things except caster oil as my husband doesnt want me to make myself ill, but everything else I've done! I really want to hold my little girl! Also my mother is flying over from Florida next thursday, and I really want the baby to have been here by then! If not, I have another stretch and sweep next wednesday and then induction on the 29th! The doctor that did the s&s ( I have shared care with amidwife and consultent due to my BMI ) said that she didnt think I would make it to the induction, and if I did, that they would just break my waters and that would most likely set it off! So I think thats a good thing.. but I really dont want to have to wait another 11dayys!
Sorry also if this is hard to make sense of! I am abit scatterbrained at the mo!
