goodness HeidiHi .. you have had such a similar pregnancy to me .. the wait drags doesn't it .. have you done acupuncture or reflexology yet? reflexology worked for me - we did it late friday night (after i burst into tears at the thought of a medical induction that had been booked for the monday coming) - i went into labour a few hours late and he was born at home in water! just make sure the bub is engaged before bring on on the labour .. mind you breaking of the water is supposed to "flush" them out .. didn't work for me and i had push him down myself .. hard work!


BUT if you do end up going with the medical induction just remember the end result - it's totally worth every minute - jut keep positive and strong!

Has anyone mentioned nipple tweaking, it worked for my baby when I was 2 weeks overdue. Verona Hall (a local midwife) recommended this and it sent me into labour about 2 hours later. I had previously had no Braxton hicks or any signs of anything rumbling down below!


Here's some info I found on google:


Nipple Stimulation to Self-induce


This is a practice often recommended by midwives when a woman is long past due or when labor is stalled. Nipple stimulation causes the release of oxytocin, the same hormone that causes uterine contractions. Many women report, however, that the contractions produced from this method are much stronger and more painful than natural labor, but are not any more effective. Please note: In order to use this method for induction, you must stimulate the nipples for long periods of time. The usual recommendation is 15 minutes of continual stimulation on each nipple each hour for several hours. So, the amount of stimulation you may experience during intimacy, while nursing an older child, or while pumping your breasts while pregnant will not cause you to go into labor. The general recommendation on these activities is to abstain from them when your condition warrants doctor recommended pelvic rest. Please check with your practitioner before trying this.

Hello....not sure if you're still waiting?


I had an induction [2nd baby] was deffo the easiest of all 3 births.


I just had the gel pessary and went to sleep in hospital [they gave me the pessary at 10pm] woke 7 hrs later in labour and the baby was born in under 1hr and a half!


intense labour but i was glad it was quick.


Good luck.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By alice · Posted

      Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By Vik · Posted

      From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
