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

    • Dulwich leisure centre? Zumba or Pilates there? I go to Zumba at forest Hill Pools... Pay as you go membership and its very inclusive all ages shapes and sizes. Ditto I find the leisure centre the same..I'm mid 60's by the way. I prefer gyms to schools..the rooms they do the classes in are custom built.  
    • Well, this is sad news.  Hopefully it won't go down the same path as The Palmerston when it changed hands.  That is from great to dismal, literally overnight.
    • And no queues at 1130 yesterday. Maybe everyone's had enough and switched to the Yodel and Evri app.
    • Hi there guys, I hope you're well.  I've recently done a term of Dance Yourself Fit, which began with a class at the Harris Girls Academy on the Nunhead side of the Rye, then transferred to the Charter School for Girls up by the old ED hospital. It's been so good and all the women attending have loved it too, but due to exams being on next term the classes are being discontinued in East Dulwich, much to our disappointment. They're moving them to Streatham, but that is not convenient for me and many of the others. This is a link to their site in case anyone is interested though: https://www.danceyourselffit.com I'm now looking for a replacement class that's not too expensive, keeps me moving energetically for an hour and is local and hopefully less than a tenner per lesson (this was about £72 for 8 classes I think?). Does anyone know of anything? I'm also looking for low-cost pilates classes to join too, if anyone has any recommendations for those too? Very best,  Eleanor  Also, just to add, what's been so nice is that it HASN'T been in a gym with lots of lively young lithe gazelle like creatures hopping about. It's been extremely inclusive for women of all sizes and shapes and really nice that it's been in schools not gyms. Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed!
