Wow, it really wasn't as bad as i thought,
i was a little uncomfortable but it didn't
hurt at all which i'm pleased about, My
cervix is doing really well apparently,
it's nice and soft and i'm 1-2cm. She
could feel her head whilst she was doing
it, she also complemented me on how tidy
my bedroon was, not exactly what you
expect when someone's fingers are in you
cervix

lol too funny. i always find it weird to
make small talk when someones sticking
their hand up there. well, not someone,
the doctor.  you
know what i mean .
i'm glad it wasn't bad for you. maybe
that's a sign that she's ready anyway,
with or without it. it's encouraging to
hear that it wasn't painful, especially
for those of us who might be asked if we
want it done. i see an ob/gyn so i don't
know if they do things like that or if
it's a midwife thing. i hope she doesn't
make you wait too long, but be patient
with her, she'll come when she's ready.
pretty soon now!!

My midwife said that her guess would be by
the weekend judging by presentation and my
cervix and she doubts very much that i'll
need my induction date. I'll be doing lots
of walking later today to go and do food
shopping with my mum so that will help
too, i've just taken to taking each day as
it comes now because at the end of the day
she can't stay in there forever even if it
does feel like she is

i heard squatting can also help. did your
midwife ever mention that? it opens up
the pelvis and helps baby's head move
down. i'm not your midwife so don't go by
what i say, it's just something i've seen
in a couple of books and in my prenatal
class.

I'm glad to hear that your appointment
went so well!
and yea it is really encouraging to hear
it wasn't painful... as some of us may
have to do the saame thing soon!
I
thinkit's cute she made small talk in your
room.
I had a pap done a while ago and right in
the middle of it the doctor said "soooo,
your pregnant?"
I was so uncomfortable but couldn't help
to laugh!
Walk tons... squat do what you gotta do
lady, I can't wait to see her!

Sometimes it does drag out, like at night
when i'm layin gin bed trying to get to
sleep and i have nothing to do but think i
sometimes get upset that she's not here
yet and i'm not waking up to nurse her or
change her, but then sometimes i think
that it's nice to make the most of my days
with .Dom while we're just a couple and
not full time mum and dad

You have absolutely the best outlook on
things.
It's awesome you stay so positive, I mean
I know there isn't much to be negative
about but
sometimes the wait is brutal, and you're
making the best out of it.
You're just doing so great!!
It'll be worth it.
I'm so excited for you!
