And putting my dental hat on its very very acidic so I would advise you guys to only drink it with a meal to avoid acid erosion on your teeth

absolutely, its not meant to induce or start labour and reading back what i wrote it reads as if i was saying thats what its supposed to do.

So what will bring on my labour then? I've decided... come next Wednesday (37 weeks) I WANT THIS BABY OUT.

If baby don't eat out baby ain't coming out lol. I tried everything last time and nada worked.

Hmmmmm don't think I'll bother with the raspberry tea then.......I just about remember to take my iron tabs 3 times a day!

fluffnutter part of me wants him here early but then I want to go full term and make sure he's well cooked! Ahhhhh.
Definitely don't want him here before the 9th June, its our friends wedding and OH is best man! Got a gorgeous silk dress thats non-maternity and I've had for a while its got loads of room in it so wearing that. Just want to be comfortable! Going shopping tomorrow for a fascinator and some sort of bolero to hide my bingo wings that I've seem to have grown!
Want to look nice but not sure thats possible at 37.5 weeks preggers! x

I tried EVERYTHING with my 2 boys, nothing worked and i went to full term + 10 days with both before they would induce me was so sodding miserable at the end i just spent my days crying.

I think im just not programmed to tell the time properly as im late for everything

if you guys find a miracle labour starter be sure to share it

My pen is running out which means I have to leave house in search of new one. Grrrr.

My other half is really jealous of you girls. Her days I'm addicted to this forum and if he tells me something I ignore it but if I read something on here or elsewhere online apparently I take it as truth. Lol. I think he just jealous

Well! I saw a doctor today, not a consultant (what's the difference??) ...but anyway she was a breath of frsh air compared to the otheres. She examined me and baby before anything was suggested, asked me lots of questions and referred back in my notes several times, and in the end said she is mildly concerned about the bp, and has increased my beta blockers to 600mg a day (you can have up to 2000mg a day of these ones while prego) so still a relatively low dose, and said looking at my history and talking to me today she would prefer if i went in to labour naturally!!! Finally!!! However she did also explain the risks of high bp so I am booked in for an induction next thursday, but she gave stern instructions to bump to hurry up in the mean time lol!

So fingers crossed things get going ASAP, but while baby is engaged, my cervix is still closed, hmm. But I feel like a massive weight has been lifted. I have been worrying about too much interference and a difficult labour and so on, and she just calmly answered all my questions, explained everything fully, and i actually feel ok about the fact I may be induced on thursday. Bet if she took my BP now itd be much lower!!
