Due today!
Hi all.
Baby_woo was scheduled to arrive today but he's not showing any signs of making an appearance.
Had a midwife app yesterday and she said that I'm well & baby is well so she's happy to let me go up to 2 weeks over! I'm sure elephants have shorter gestation periods than me.
I've been trying all the tips to get labour started but so far he's stubbornly refusing to budge. The midwife recommended lots of sex cos the prostagladin hormone in sperm is the best thing to safely trigger labour.
I'll keep you updated of any rumblings & will post my birth story when it finally happens x

Know how you feel.
Our due date was 9th July and that came and went and we were so fed up waiting.
In the end, she was induced at term + 11 and even then he wouldn't make a move. The midwife in the delivery suite said that in France, they consider the gestation period to be 42 weeks and that we were probably rushing nature.
In the end, after 11 hours of labour and only dilating to 4cm, we had and emergency c-section and all is now well.
BTW he was 10lb 10oz so we were glad of it in the end, I don't think he would have fitted through.
