Thanks again for all of your supportive posts.

I thought I'd update u on the outcome.

On Friday the 29th I was admitted to hospital due to reduced movement , the midwife was concerned that the placenta was starting to fail as I was already overdue.

The decision was taken by the drs to induce me, what followed was the most brutal 36hrs of my life, where labour was induced but no pain relief could be provided until I was in established labour!!

Due to the care or rather lack of it provided by the midwifes, my partner had to help/provide lots of intimate care for me. Not once did he complain about doing it nor did I feel uncomfortable with him doing it. In fact we've talked about it since and feel it's made us closer than ever.

Once in established labour our daughter was born very quickly in the early hours of the 1st of December. A week later I can't imagine our life's without her.

:T what did she weigh?

DD weighed in at 9lbs 8oz, so in line with what the scan in early November said, interestingly the emergency scan done on the Friday before she was born showed an estimated weight of 8lbs 10oz so out by quite a bit!! Lol
