So my due dates tomorrow and I had my appointment with the midwife today. She nearly gave me a heart attack to start with by telling me she thought the baby was breech... but after a few more pushes she said nope its head down...phew!! Everything seems to be going well and baby is a fair size (whatever that means!) She said I am still carrying quite high but thats not uncommon for women having their 2nd babies. Apparently it generally happens at the last minute.

I have an appointment for Tuesday to have a membrane sweep (oh the joys!) and a meeting with my consultant. She said he will want to book an induction date then too. Thats where the problems start... because I have had a c-section with my first baby they dont wont want to induce unless they really have to, meaning they could leave me for a while. She said my induction date will probably be between the 13th aug - 15th aug.

She said hopefully while he is doing my sweep he will find my cervix is getting ready to do the birthing thing and (if I dont go into labour) he'll have me go back a couple of days later to break my waters and maybe try ago with picton (because of the section I am only allowed one go!) If it doesnt work then I'll be having a section.

Worst situation would be that on Tuesday cervix is nowhere near ready and he will send me home in the hope something will change, if not, she said they probably wont even bother to try and induce it will be a straight section! (although I will argue that I would atleast like to try on my own!!)

There was to much talk of a section for my liking!. I need labour dust ladies and plenty of it!!! I am praying baby decides to come out on it own... otherwise I could be around for another 2 weeks! Its been a depressing day.

Now for the pics and they are not great. A mixture of a bright flash and a dirty mirror!! but they will do. Enjoy because they're probably the last belly pics you will see from me... I think i'll be too depressed to do more!

Excuse the p.js they are having to stretch to the max!!
