Hi Baths - thanks for asking. I'm 2 days overdue, having had a painful attempt at membrane sweeping on Wednesday.

I'm booked provisionally for repeat membrane sweep next Wednesday and induction on 04 February.

how time flies
you must be ready to have your baby
I hope you have booked your epidural

I dont do this good luck bit when women have babies
It is up to the leddy herself, midwives and doctors

woddid I learn in phys ? It is the day that the woman decides and the child decides the time ?
The whole of the year was lectured by a future Nobel Prize winner - Edwards

[Bathsheba]

Oh well, that doesn't mean I won't be thinking you in the meantime!
Excuse me NoM, but Peter, do you mean Robert Edwards? He broke my waters, I think he was a registrar back then ;)

I don't think it was the same Edwards Baths, the one that PP was alluding to, had no medical qualification. He was a Physiologist.

[Bathsheba]

Ah, rightey oh, thanks Sqad. But I know my waters were broken by a Dr Edwards on Steptoes' team.

[Sqad]

[Mamyalynne]

[Bathsheba]

Thanks so much Sqad, there truly is such a thing as karma;)

and hope the labour starts soon NoM

[Bathsheba]

well, every day's a schoolday, eh?
It's undeniably true that I was under Dr Steptoe's team in 1975, although I cant remember ever seeing him.
Sorry NoMercy, but seems we got fed up of you cos nothing was happening to you, but at least the chat has been concerned with lady bits :)

they will do their bits, I am sure....

Remember boaty's canal waters have broken....whether it's upstream or downstream into the Severn, who knows, though it all may be a bit of a 'bore'.......
