2 sweeps down and still no baby😖

Anyone got any tips on how to get this baby moving I’ve had 2 sweeps one on Tuesday and one yesterday lost a lot of mucus plug and bloody show over them days. I was 1cm dilated on Tuesday and yesterday had gone to 3cm cervix is pretty central and still about 1cm thick she said. I’m so done I want things moving now as I’m so nervous to be induced. Currently 40+1.

I was in the exact same situation as you, had two sweeps four days apart. I had my last sweep on the Friday and went into labour the following Tuesday- 40+2. The day I went into labour I went for a long walk and my waters broke half an hour after getting home.
Hope it happens soon for you good luck! 💕

I'm due today and haven't had any sweeps (haven't been offered), no bloody show, no signs at all - just fatigue. Your baby will come when ready! I'm trying to go on walks, stay active, use birth ball for labour prep exercises to open pelvis and rest to prep for the big day. Mentally I'm preparing for another week so I don't feel too frustrated or disappointed.
Don't know what your hospital says but mine recommends induction from 40+11 if nothing is moving but I'm still going to wait as long as possible!

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
