1 day longer than Nathan

Well after another false Labour on Friday afternoon (very frustrating) I am still here with my baby in my belly :) With Nathan I was 13 days 'overdue' and today I am 14 days over with this one. Obviously it's just how my body is, I'm a 42 week baby carrier :) My midwife visited yesterday and we tried a few things to get this thing going, but to no avail. I was booked in this morning with the obstetrician to break my waters but was having second thoughts with fear that it would lead from one intervention to another. But after talking with my midwife she says my cervix is so ready to go and babys head is soooo low, she doesn't understand why I'm not in labour already, and that breaking my waters will almost definately set labour off. So I am meeting her at 9.30 which I am more comfortable about and she will break my waters and we'll go from there. I'm really praying that Labour kicks in from that, and they will be able to keep the Syntocinon well away!!!
So we hope to meet our little girl today, and will be able to introduce you to her soon enough.

Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers!!!
