At 5pm today GMT, Lulu and I will be making our way to the LGI for the induction! She had a show on Saturday but there's been no movement so far, until some "period-like pains" this morning. The hospital want her in today cos she's now term+13 but we're hoping against hope for a final bit of help from mother nature (yeah right). I'll keep you all posted of any developments in the meantime.

I would be very surprised if she actually needs that induction! Best of luck to you both! Love and a big hug, Magsxx

Good luck Craig and Lulu, perhaps the period type pains are a sign that he's finally ready. With my 2nd I had period like pains before everything kicked off. All the very best Kxx

Good luck Carig and Lulu. Here's hoping you've got good news for us tonight. best wishes Christine

Good luck to all of you. Christine

Sounds as though 'little one' is on it's way. Keep us posted. Jo.

Hi Craig Fingers crossed! I was induced with my first when I was term+11 days. You get the big pains straight away and it bloody hurts! lol. So here's hoping that nature takes its course and things start moving before then. Get the gas and air at the ready! lol (I meant for Lulu not you!) Jeanette x

Good luck! I was induced at term +18 for my son and term + 7 for my daughter. It took 3 days for her to come out and 3 attempts at induction! I highly recommend the gas and air and an epidural - in fact everything they offer! Keep us posted!

keeping everything crossed for you sweetie! xxxxx

good luck to you both!! Hope it goes as smoothly as possible.... I hear that DRUGS are essential with this process so give her as many as she wants!! :O)

I too strongly recommend gas & air, plus anything else that's going and if they wont give enough then steal it!! Kxx

Good luck to Craig and Lulu, i was induced with my third child and he was born 5 hours later, i agree about the Gas and air thats all i and with all four of mine, it sure help, good luck, june

I had pethadine (rubbish forget it!) and an epidural as well. Oh and a ceaserian just to round it off. Thought I'd try the lot while I was there! lol Jeanette x

Hi Craig and Louise Dose of caster oil needed,Orange juice at bottom caster oil then another lot of Orange juice on top. Worked wonders with my daughters baby was out in 21/2 to 3 hrs. Louise You should get down and start scrubbing the floor or up and down the stairs or do squats which helps the baby lower himself. Tke care both of you and let us know please. Sue

I was induced and it statred off as period pains so fingers crossed nature will take it's course for you. Good luck and I hope you both slept well last night lol! Jack xx

Hi Craig All the best to you both, hope it arrives before 5pm. Liz

Good Luck! Lindy;-))

Hope things begin to happen before the induction best wishes to both of you Bren

Good Luck honey! I've never had a baby before so can't really offer any advice just hope it goes well! love becx

Thanks for all your advice (though none of it seems to have worked lol), and your good wishes. We're about to set off for hospital in about an hour, so I'll say goodbye now and hopefully talk to you all in the morning, when my first boy has arrived! thanks all...Craig & Luluxx
