My water broke at 40+3. Dr didn't want to induce. Your body is ready when it's ready...

Saw midwife today. I am fully engaged and have been offered a sweep next tuesday!! They will then book me in for an induction.  However I have just eaten a curry and half a fresh pineapple... now small pains. Fingers crossed!!

My first one was delivered at 42 weeks. Healthy baby, healthy pregnancy, and fast recovery. Don't fret. Your body will kick into labor.  Black cohosh and lots of sex!
