Supergolden - I know we have never met but I was actually thinking of you today and wondering if you had the baby as I am due a week tomorrow! Last time was induced so dont even know what going into labour feels like. What did midwife say to you regarding going over? Last time I went to 42 weeks before induction. I am with the Lanes this time (lived in Greenwich for last birth 2 years ago) and midwife told me that now I would be induced at 41+ 2. I really dont want to be induced again. Are you with the Lanes? Did they give you any options?

I am just going to Kings for delivery and am not with any midwife practice. I am booked to have a sweep on Wednesday morning at post dates clinic. I understand you can have a few sweeps before it works (if at all) then I am sure they are going to tell me about an induction date.


I do feel rather awful right now so will see if that develops into anything.


I would think you have the option to say no to an induction up to 42wks - they can monitor you at hospital to make sure placenta is ok.


By my dates the baby should be due on 5/11 so perhaps I was right all along (the adjusted the EDD according to scan)

On my first birth my delivery date was moved up a week as well according to scan data, and i was convinced all along that when I was induced I was just 41 weeks not 42. But no one would listen. I was very confident in my dates as well. This time I had myself down as due the 10th and they say the 9th so just about the same. Had two sweeps last time which did nothing. I have my next appt on due date and will see what midwife says about going to 42 weeks again. Hope things move along for you and that birth goes ok. Thanks for info. Keep us updated!
Just been reading the messages and wanted to wish everyone who is due soon good luck and hope the births go ok. Seems like ages ago since I had Sam (now 8 weeks old) Will try and get along to coffee meetup next time cant do today as have school pickup to do.
Had very weird incident last night woke up at 2am shivering uncontrollably but no fever. Currently at kings MAU being monitored. Looks like baby is lying sideways again so waiting for doctor to scan me again then they may try a sweep. Likely to be here for hours and with almost no sleep last night am feeling completely wiped out. Wish me luck have no idea how the day will turn out!

Kept overnight for observation - what a f****** joke! Will post later right now still in hospital trying to dicharge myself after horrible night in which had maybe 20m of sleep. No baby yet he is happily squirming with no intention of coming out yet! Ladies fight your corner just because they are doctors does not mean they are right.


Hope I can get out by 12 if not may turn murderous

    • I thoroughly recommend Jay from JK Electrical Contractors who is an NICEIC registered. NICEIC is the UK's leading certification body for the electrical contracting industry and conducts regular audits and assessments on all its members. It is the specialist trade body which certifies professional electricians.  Jay completed the installation of a 19 way consumer unit for us and works to the highest standards and our entire electrical installation is now fully compliant with 18th Edition of the electrical wiring regulations. Before installing the new CU he traced and corrected faults that had developed over the last 25 years -some of which were my DIY bodges that were non-compliant.  We now have an installation that is 100% safe and  reliable . His contact details are :- 0208 150 6450 [email protected] Here is what he installed for us.
    • I fully support this petition, however it will need to be shared far & wide to be effective. Also there is always a huge amount of interest / objection during the festival, but not so much when they start consulting for the next one, usually around January. It's crucial that everyone that has been impacted makes their voice heard then.  A couple of points which may be good to include in the wording (if it is still possible to amend?) - The total tickets sold are way more than 3000. The licence allows a capacity of up to 9,999, but this may include staff & performers etc. The published attendance for 2024 was:  Friday – 8,999 / Saturday – 9,512 / Sunday – 9,422 So that's c.28,000 people trampling & littering our park over three days - people who have no need or desire to take any care or consideration of our park.  - Gala claim for 2024 that "62% of all ticket holders were from Southeast London and 18% of these were from hyper-local postcode areas SE15 and SE22." So a bit of maths shows that means that around 89% of attendees were not what most people would term 'local'... - Gala have ambitions / plans to extend the number of event days to 6, over two weekends. They applied for a licence for this in 2024, but then withdrew it. Instead they added a "free" event, billed as a community day, to the existing 3 day festival, thereby increasing the event days to 4.  This would appear to be an attempt to set a precedent for increasing the number of event days, and it's inevitable that they will attempt to secure the 6 days they desire for 2026, to increase their profits further. Two weekends in a row of noise, disturbance & disruption would be unacceptable, plus an extra c.18,000 trampling & littering the park... - The site size has been increased. The claim is that it is to compensate for lost storage space due to recent flood alleviation works, but the area has increased by more than the area lost, and appears to have been used for attendee activity rather than site storage. Gala have often stated that the festival can only be located in the park because the footprint has been designed specifically for that area, and yet this year the footprint had been amended & extended without any apparent issues. Surely this proves that it could be relocated?  Apologies, I just can't help going into rant mode on this issue, but hopefully some of the above may be helpful in increasing the argument presented by the petition?
    • Best to just get in touch with the council. You need to see what works were approved and the scope.  It's probably advisable to get an independent legal survey (not a standard RICS) and look at current condition, what they said they'd fix, if they did what they said and what the problems are with what they did. Was it just your flat and the other flat mentioned? Asking in case there's any other leaseholder/ tenant involved
