Despite big hints at mo looks like baby is not going to move. Got my 40wk app on thurs and just wondering what should make sure ask midwife? Really would like to avoid being induced but don't want to go to far over as walking is getting harder and harder, even with crutches. Not really sure what to ask about x

I'm guessing the only question(s) you could ask the CMV at this stage is what to expect once you get into hospital. I know everyone's experience of childbirth id different but she may be able to give you a Lil' insight on what the "induction" day might be, (if you haven't gone into labour by then) :)

So hope I have by then. At mo think I'll be seeing her thurs. I know I'm impatient, but so frustrating. baby kicking like mad again, want to distract myself but just can't get out to do anything! Hopefully she'll give some insight. Know all about sweeps etc, but really not convinced they are successful, and if she dares suggest sex to get things going I might just scream. I know it's what everyone says really works but if my poor OH is treating me like glass as is, and despite a tiny bump, I just don't bend right. Was wondering if there was anything else should consider but think it is just hurry up and wait now :/ x

For A sweep and to get the baby now! ;) but seriously u need to discuss any problems and concerns and all what they can do so u know the plan x
