Failed sweep now cramping
I had an attempt at a sweep yesterday afternoon but my cervix was fully closed so midwife couldn’t perform it.
Since then I’ve been very crampy. Does cramping mean the cervix is softening?
Has anyone has a failed sweep that lead to cramping that turned into spontaneous labour?

I had a sweep at 39+5 cervix closed, another at 40w was 1cm dilated, started loosing mucus plug, another at 40+3 still 1cm but cervix soft. went into labour 12hr later. it can all change v quick!
I had a failed sweep which made me bleed, the bleeding continued 48 hours later (not huge amounts) so called triage and then had to be induced because they were concerned it could have been my placenta but I think it was just the failed sweep 😂 however I was over being pregnant so was happy to get things started!
I had a sweep at 39+4 and she said the start of my cervix was soft and open but the top wasn't so she couldn't sweep the membrane but swept the outside. I had cramps when I got home and just thought it was from them messing with my cervix. The cramps started to intensify over the next 2 days and I went into spontaneous labour

Horrendous heartburn and sickness
Just sat up in bed right now after a heartburn disaster, I’m 36+5 and been having it for a week or two now, always have a small sip of gaviscon before bed but tonight it didn’t work. Woke up didn’t feel good, (luckily I keep a bowl by my bed due to hyperemesis)
Still tried to get to the toilet in time but I didn’t make it and it’s the first time heartburn has actually made me physically sick and it was so much worse then any of my HG sickness as it felt like pure fire.
Partner came and rescued me with my rennies and a cold glass of water and getting me off the bathroom floor of course
But now I’m scared to lay down in bed incase it happens again

How to cope, Emergency C section
months of prepping for a water birth and i ended up having to be induced then and emergency c section since baby boy decided he didn't want to come anymore😂 im only 16 days pp but since coming home i've been constantly up and moving about. i don't think i've processed how traumatic the birth was yet since my family and partner haven't really sympathised with what i went through at all

Stay at home Mum and ill
What are we doing as stay at home mums when we’re extremely ill. I can hardly get off the toilet, I’m throwing up a lot, I hardly feel like I can do anything and be a mum I’m exhausted can’t eat any slight movement is a sickness wave and I feel so bad. My toddler is 17 month old so it’s not like he just sits there he’s constantly on the move and wanting me. Any suggestions on what I could be doing I’m honestly feeling so guilty
