Membrane sweep - First time Mum, 39 weeks

I had a membrane sweep yesterday (39 weeks) and was 1cm with baby head down and well in the pelvis (unsure percentage) - just wondering if anyone has had one done with being 1cm and it successfully working? How long did it take after you had it to go into labour and did you do anything to progress it more!
TIA from one 39 week mamma who is so ready to be in labour! Xxx 🩷🩷

Hey! I had a sweep at 40 weeks and was 1cm dilated, I lost my mucus plug that night and then nothing happened for a week. I did curb walking twice a day, stretches, bouncing on ball, and nothing! Then the night before I was due to have another sweep at 41 weeks (and then an induction the following day) my waters broke and had baby boy at exactly 41 weeks. Some people swear by sweeps, some people don't, ultimately I think baby comes when baby wants! Best of luck!

It worked very well for me I was in labor that same night. Did they say rather your cervix was soft because that’s really what speeds up dilation

Walk walk walk

I got a membrane sweep done when I was 37+5. We started driving home from the doctor, which is a 30 minute drive, and we had to go to labor and delivery mid-drive.
Walking helps a lot too and I knew someone who tried running to go into labor and it worked the day of

Anyone else just feel huge already?

I feel like I’ve really popped the last week or so and it’s like I’ve swallowed a beach ball 🤣

Rolling over

So my daughter is 16 weeks (soon to be exactly 4 months on the 25th). Im looking at the milestones tracker one of which being rolling over.

She can roll from her back on to her side and then to her back again but not from back to front and cant roll at all when on her front.... when do we class babies as being able to roll? When can I tick this off?

Life with a FOMO baby 🫠

How are you all doing?

I feel like everyone is back to working out, watching TV, having sex and going on vacations. While I'm still living the newborn phase, with frequent crying, feeding, waking in the night, living off frozen meals 🫩. If anyone says do it while the baby sleeps, doesn't have a FOMO baby 😂

32 week growth scan

Just had my growth scan and baby already measuring 4lbs 11oz! I’m absolutely beside myself wondering why he’s so big! My first baby only 5lbs 8oz at full term so I’m pretty stressed. Not been given a reason to why he’s bigger than adverage but they said they wanted to rebook my next growth scan and speak to a doctor. But I feel so worried to why they want me to speak to a doctor. I’m scared they aren’t telling me something
