Mum-in-waiting

My daughter saw the midwife yesterday, everything is fine despite her due date being on 11th October. The midwife asked her if she wanted to wait for another 12 days to see if the labour progressed normally? If not, she could insert some gel which would help the labour along (she was only 1cm dilated), the gel would take 48 hours by which time she should progress. S went for the gel-she is so large and heavy that she does not want to carry this weight around for the next 12 days, possible getting even heavier in the process.Pineapple is recommended to bring on labout, but she does not like it, sex
Baby is wriggling around all the time, we sit fascinated watching her tummy moving from one side to another. The last two nights have been constant trips to the loo and very uncomfortable for her. Her hubby took her out walking yesterday to see if that helped, she managed short 30 minute stints then had to rest.It brings back memories of when I was carrying her and her sister. I was so huge it was a nightmare getting around.
Phones are next to me at night, for when the call comes......hopefully soon!
I am joining the baby blanket strips together with single crochet while I sit in bed watching CSI Miami or New York, my favorite programmes!
