I've been for my last antenatal appointment this morning. Had a really good look around on the scan (not at baby's sex though), and estimated weight is currently 9lb 7oz! Doc tried a sweep again, but no change from last time - still soft but not dilated, so not a real sweep at all. Oh, and baby's head is STILL not engaged at all!
Anyway, outcome of all that is that induction is booked for next Tuesday if nothing happens before then. I really hope it all starts naturally or I won't be allowed to have a water birth. I was however reminded today that in France full term is considered 41 weeks, so by their scale of things, I'm not even overdue yet.
Felt a bit abandoned after that as no-one was around at home, and after a long weekend hanging out with people it was a bit lonely! And it's started raining - boo. Had a nice soak in a Clary sage bath as well, chilled, but this time didn't even elicit much movement from the baby...
Had to go and get more iron today, gutted about that really, pathetic though that sounds, the last prescription they gave me was for 100 to be taken twice a day, and I though, nah, I'll not need another lot after that - how wrong I was! Also picked up some Evening Primrose Oil, which can apparently help 'prime' the cervix. So far just tried it orally rather than internally! And I walked to the chemist - good for me! - in the rain, hopefully that'll help send the baby in the right direction!
