Hospital yesterday.
They monitored Lilly for half an hour and she's fine. They then scanned me to double check she's head down. She is, but not engaged.
The midwife then tried to give me a membrane sweep to start labour but she said my cervix is high and closed and she couldn't even feel Lilly's head.
She tried her best but I haven't had anything from it.
They also booked me in for an induction for Tuesday morning when I'll be 41 weeks +5 days. 12 days overdue. So....she'll definitely be here by Tues/Wednesday next week. I'm still hoping she just comes without intervention so we can use the birthing suite and pool.
I'm feeling sore. The stretch marks under my belly are big and ouchie. My ribs are being kicked a lot. Pelvis and hips are painful and I have heartburn all the time. Thanks to those things, I'm not sleeping well either.
Oh well. Not long then i'll have to find something else to whinge about.
I predicted the 15th, which is next Wednesday, based on the lunar cycle. I hope she beats the hospital to the punch and comes on her own. Come on, Lilly, feel the moon's pull!
