They can induce you post EMCS - they are not keen on pessary as it increases the risk of scar rupture quite significantly, but they can do ARM or low level syntocinon drip to get you going. Of course those things can also lead to a greater risk of intervention themselves, so worth considering if you want them.


My 1st was 42 weeks (EMCS) and my second was also 42 weeks (VBAC) - Kings would in fact have let me go to 43 weeks with proper monitoring (I was adamant about waiting until baby was ready unless there was clear medical need for intervention). if you want to avoid planned CS for being over you need to be fully armed with info and prepared to fight your corner though. Good luck!

Are you with community midwives, they should support you whatever you decide. It is your decision, I've never encountered midwives suggesting a time limit where there is no problems. If you are attending hospital, make it clear to them what you want. Good luck.

Someone way up there mentioned massages by Amy of Dulwich Touch. Just wanted to second the recommendation for her preganancy massages. They really are fantastic. She also made me up some aromatherapy oil. I've been using a little at night and have falling asleep much more easily and getting better quality sleep ever since. As was mentioned above, she also does "induction massages" and aromatherapy oils to help bring on labour. I can't vouch for them personally, and agree with all of the above that the baby will probably just come when it's good and ready, but if there is no baby by my due date next Friday you can bet I'll be going back for these!

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
