Re: IainK - Update on the Blessed Event Please!
 

Rats - I was sure this weekend would be it? Is Lena overdue then?

Re: IainK - Update on the Blessed Event Please!
 

1.9999? .. or 1.9991 even? :D

Re: IainK - Update on the Blessed Event Please!
 

No, Wednesday is "D day", but #1 was early, leading to erroneous expectations of an imminent delivery.


Guess we hope for some immediate action, or start in 0.0001 increments???

Re: IainK - Update on the Blessed Event Please!
 

LOL - both of mine were early and I was so uncomfortable by that point it wasnt soon enough!

Keep us updated - soon to be new dad!

Re: IainK - Update on the Blessed Event Please!
 

First four were bang on time for me...fifth one was TEN (yes ten) days late. :eek: This bit is just the worst - your missus has my sympathies!

Re: IainK - Update on the Blessed Event Please!
 

Do they have "compulsory" induction in Canada at 10days overdue? It's not technically compulsory in the UK but I defy you to stand up to a snotty consultant and ask that they keep the pig semen (someone told me that's what the induction gel is??) away from you for a bit longer...

Re: IainK - Update on the Blessed Event Please!
 

Two weeks I believe.

I suspect she will be begging them to get it out of her if we go on that long... and I will long since have run out of space for all the decimal places!

Re: IainK - Update on the Blessed Event Please!
 

please dont tell me that induction gel is pig semen :scared: i was induced 6 times !!!! and it didnt work :eek: ended up with a c section :D , i always thought iit was a hormone gel they used :confused: god i really dont wanna be inseminated by a pig!!!!

Re: IainK - Update on the Blessed Event Please!
 

True ;)

And is a term pregnancy in Quebec 41wks like in France? Or 40wks as everywhere else?

Re: IainK - Update on the Blessed Event Please!
 

We were induced first time as the waters broke before the contractions began, but it wasnt a gel, it was some hormone infusion in the drip. Clear and entirely gel free fortunately :eek:

Re: IainK - Update on the Blessed Event Please!
 

I don't know, and I had it too :scared: Someone told me this but I've never checked it out myself...kind of don't want to know!

Re: IainK - Update on the Blessed Event Please!
 

the overdue thing is a bit odd... basically the placenta starts to break down after 43 weeks so they calaculate your due date as of your last persiod which is bollocks anyways -then make up a number and sayd thats it - we argued with them becuase we knew the dates etc and all our scans prooved our dates - we said dec 6th, they saud dec 22nd... baby arrived november 20th... the 10days past their due date is ato allow for 1 week of 'date error' and then some days becuase they dont want to be sued for a death they could have prevented... its all bullshite anyways but we've been through consultants - 5 years for our little one despite them being sompoletely arse...
