Just had sweep. 1.5cm dilated and soft and open cervix. Cervix is posterior though - will it be a while still?

I had my sweep at 12 today , I was 1cm dilated with a soft short cervix , I’ve been having a lot of period cramps etc since so 🤞🏼mumma that we will have our baby’s with us in the next few days!

Honestly sometimes it works for pregnant women however sometimes it doesn’t, my midwife said it depends if your baby is ready and your body is ready for labor xx

I've had 3 sweeps now - weds, fri and today. My cervix is still posterior about 1cm but can be stretched to 2cm and is soft
I've had period cramps and nausea after each of my sweeps but no labour yet.
I honestly think it depends if your body's already mostly ready or not x

I had my sweep today aswell 2cm and my cervix is soft, short and open. She could feel babies head and said my waters were bulging. Since my sweep ive had period pains, backache and pressure and just had what looks like part of my show on tissue i think 🤷🏼‍♀️ really hoping i go into labour i think theres no real way to know though it just depends what our bodies decide to do and if they are ready x

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
