The 'Almost 40 weeks and NOTHING!' thread

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

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!

I am due a sweep on Thursday too if nothing happens before! Bring it on I say, I will try anything!!!

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(

I wanna give the nipple stimulation a go but they are sooooooo sore

How long do you have to do it for?? And how do you actually do it?? Just sit there twiddling?!

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!

Still nothing! Had a sore back and period pains earlier but now... nada. Why do our babies torture us so?!

I read you need to stimulate them for 3 hours! Sod that.....mine have become sore again over the last few days so even a 5 min tweak in the bath is painful...
