I'm Preggers!!!

The horrible thing about being induced is that they strap sensors on your belly to monitor the baby's heartbeat and contractions and they don't come off until baby is born. The poor mother is restricted to moving around that's why so many females hate being induced but the hospital will only leave the mother up to two weeks past her due date then they have to bring baby out. A helping hand with a few pineapples and a bumpy car ride is much more dignified than being strapped up and monitored each time you move.

What's a sweep?

It's where the midwife sweeps your membranes, it's usually done to try and bring on labour. THey do it like when you're overdue and try it before they actually induce you but it doesn't always work.

Hope baby comes sometime soon Miccisy! You must be so tired now x

I had this on both my kids and I wasn't induce on any of them... my baby heart rate dropped during labour and I had to be monitored at all times.. plus I had the epidural so I couldn't leave the bed

when I was over due on my first all I kept getting was "when the apple is ready, it falls from the tree" and all I kept thinking was: "if anyone else says this to me, I will swing them from a tree"

I was 1 or 2 weeks late. My brother was 4 weeks late

[Hollie-x]

4 weeks! :O
your mum must have been so fed up!

[Perdita]

4 weeks? Did not think that the doctor would allow a mum to go over for this long.
