Sweep

Baby could either be hours, days or weeks away. I had my first sweep Thursday and I was 1cm, lost my bloody show yesterday evening, had a few on and off contractions type pains overnight which then subsided when I woke up, I had another sweep this morning and she said I was about 2cm, my cervix was forward and medium, and lost more bloody mucus plug throughout the day followed by jelly type mucus, and now I’ve just got dull period pains but nothing other than that. I’ve got another sweep booked in for Tuesday and if that one doesn’t bring on labour I’ll be induced on Thursday xx

@Tori I just wanted to say you are in labour 😅 this is the first stage of your labour, it can be quick for some people but as you said days or a week or two for others but your baby is on its way so just relax and your body will bring your baby, you really don't need another sweep or an induction unless your waters go and you need to speed things up for a medical reason 😊

@Molly things can be slow for some people but again this is the start of labour and your body is getting ready to go, just try and enjoy it, relax, do some nice stuff for yourself 🥰

definitely trying to take it easy and just make sure everything’s ready 🙈 I am trying to avoid an induction aswell if possible, my midwife said they could even skip the pessary/balloon part and just break my waters but I’m hoping that baby decides to do that herself before Thursday!😅 doing all the ball exercises etc to try and encourage her along a little bit😂xx
