40+5 weeks today I have 7 days till my induction if baby doesn't come by then. It's my eldest birthday tomorrow so really don't want to have baby tomorrow I'd rather my children have their own special day.
For those that have been induced what's it like? I've heard it's more intense pain wise and a long drawn out process. I've never had to be induced as my other 2 children came on their own.
My son didnt even engage till i was in labour so dont worry. It could literally be any minute now! Get jumping up and down!
Thank you both. Yeah A lot of people I've spoken to have said that natural labour is a lot better. I'm hoping my 2nd stretch and sweep on Thursday will start things off as last week I hadn't started to dilate or started effacement yet xx
Ill be honest... with my first i had a pretty straight forward labour. With my second i was induced and it was horrendous! I was induced at 10am and nothing happened until 2am and bang! I was in full labour. 40 minutes later she was born. Natural labour is a lot easier
I'm not worried. Both of my sons didn't engage till labour either it's not uncommon.
With my 1st I started dilating and effacing at 38 weeks but
With my 2nd I didn't start dilating or effacing till I was in labour so I know things can change quickly I was just hoping things were progressing as was having irregular contractions at the hospital at 37/38 weeks when I was in for movements xx
