    I'm hoping she books/ mentions induction as I really want a date to work towards but I doubt she'll book this today? I

    Oh KK big hugs for today

    I have no idea if she will mention, but if it were me, I would at least ask. She might just say no, but then you can ask when she will consider it? :o

    Congratulations Delain on Chloe and Elaine on Hugo.

    Good luck for the sweep Kit Kat and yes I'd at least ask her about induction, the worst she can say is she can't book it today.

    Emsy, Slightly jealous of your treatment in John Lewis, but well done, lol :beer:

    Hope everyone has a nice day today

    Morning all, wow where did all those babies come from.
    Congratulations to Delian and Elaine lovely names.

    I suppose I should put myself on the EDD list, but that just means I will see myself getting to the top and that'll be scary although I do want this baby out.

    We're off to the in laws for lunch today. Means I don't have to run around after DS too much as his cousin will be there as well so for the most part they will entertain each other.

    I've felt a bit rotten this morning so far, managed to stay in bed for an extra hour or so after DS got up (at 5:50am) although DH has been really grumpy since I got up because I had a lie in. He seems to have forgotten I was up with DS every morning last week at 6am because he was ill. grrrr.

    I've managed to get onto a maternity clothes trail with Peacocks and had my second item through yesterday a pair of velour trousers, have them on at the moment and they are really comfy, just hope they wash ok and don't shirnk in the leg as they only just fit that way at the moment. Just have to fill in a one page questionnaire and then I get to keep everything they send me. I love free things :)

    GL KK for your sweep. Hope it works for you, keep everything crossed (except your legs). MW should be able to phone up and book you an induction when she comes today so you can at least have a date, they can always cancel it if you pop before then.

    Hi MV
    I was going to go for the Bugaboo Chameleon, but a friend of mine has it, and says the rain cover it an utter nightmare to get on, you have to take bits off, and a pain in the butt if you get caught in a shower!

    I have gone for the Silver Cross linear freeway now........

    P.S. Bought all stuff for bubs on Friday on John Lewis Bluewater.......felt very Victoria Beckham, as while she was sorting out the order, she took us through to the restaurant bit (me, DD and my mum and dad) and told the manageress we could have whatever the 4 of us wanted and nursery section would pay, we didn't have to pay a penny :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    oooh nice getting a freebie at the restaurant! :T

    I do love John Lewis..their customer service is second to none. We're definitely going to be getting most of our stuff through them.

    The lady who demo'd the pushchairs to us yesterday was really nice and very helpful. Plus she spent a long time explaining everything and letting us 'test drive' the prams.

    Congratulations Elaine and Delain!! :j:T:j:T Lovely pic of Chloe:D

    Labour vibes Kitkat, MLSL, Nene and Courgette.

    Kitkat - hope the sweep works for you. Even if they don't book an induction would it help you to know at what point they will do one? I already know that here its 12 days over so I hope that if I go overdue it will help to have an end in sight:D My parents have loads of things booked in September (my due date is the 9th) including a couple of nights away sometime in mid-September because they expect baby to have arrived already - no not necessarily! I'm a little hard-hearted about it tbh, I feel that if they're away when baby is born it's their problem, they shouldn't automatically expect me to be on time!

    Emsy - well done you getting special treatment, that must have been fab!

    MV - I'm sure the scan will be fine. You should spend today relaxing and treating yourself.

    MV you will be fine. its totally natural to worry that something is wrong and i think everyone does. Have you considered buying or hiring a doppler?? I have one and its great for reassurance especially when bubs is moving about normally but decides to be a lazy toad.

    Kitkat - relax and think of England. The MW should be able to tell you if you are favorable for a sweep because it does not alot unless your cervix is already soft and flatter. Ask about induction Ninewells diary is about 6 days ahead so your MW may very well book induction today.

    Emsy - fab treatment.

    Can I ask opinions on 3d scans? I always fancied one with DD1 and 2 but money was tight and other things took priority. Considering this is the last child ever ever ever I am starting to wonder if I should get a 3d scan. Money is not as tight this time and we already have pram/carseat but not sure if they are worth it.

    Thanks everyone for your well wishes :) well I've been swept, bit depressed as apparently my cervix isn't favourable so the MW didn't think sweep would do much. I've been trying everything and obviously nothing is working! I've got another sweep Wednesday and induction Friday at the hospital I don't want to go to as I'll probably be in ages :( I asked her what else to try and she said sex. I'm in so much pain but might attempt it later. so fed up. I've decided I hate pregnancy, it's been carp all the way through :(

    I wanted a natural 'interference free' pregnancy and it doesn't look like I'll get it. Can't believe I won't have my baby until I'm 42 weeks :(

    Emsy I'm v jealous of your John Lewis VIP treatment, they have lovely baby items shame there isn't a local one here.

    MV with prams make sure you get everything demonstrated. Some prams are v awkward to fold down/ put rain cover on/ etc so make sure you can do it. I went for Silver cross 3D as I had a small budget but I'm v pleased :) I'm surprised I can actually fold it down/ convert it unassisted!
