I have nothing.

Lost some plug last Monday. The past couple of nights had a couple of strong BH, I thought they were contractions but don't think so now! Had a bad lower back ache on due date which has gone now so must have been from sleeping funny or walking around.

I do think if I get to thursday and have to have a sweep that it will work, I don't know why just a feeling and I think I'm gonna make it to that appt too

Xx

Had a little go maybe 10 mins but nothing really. I've been reading about accupressure would be interested if anyone has had any success with that
I watched a you tube video on this and the only spot I can actually reach is my hand lol! I tried it for about 30 mins but did nothing for me, may get my DH to try the leg and feet points!

Yep, 3 days to go and nothing! No loss of plug at all. A few BH's a day but that's it. Is there a baby in there?!! When I wake up for the umpteenth time during the night my first thought is, am I in labour? And no is always the answer. :0(

40 weeks today. Just got out of hospital as bp was stupidly high. Got them to do a stretch and sweep to be told my cervix is closed for business! Rubbish! No signs at all! No show, no Braxton hicks....nothing at bloody all.

I have read that you need to do it for at least an hour, but the effect was immediate for me! Yes I just twiddled on one at a time lol but 10 mins was my limit as it started to get sore!
