Got an induction date of 21st, but I REALLY need this baby to come before that!

Sorry your sweep didn't turn out how you hoped but you never know what will happen, good luck x

I'm seeing my midwife in a couple of hours for a sweep. Let's hope that my cervix is ok for it and it gets things going. Really don't want to have to be induced at the weekend...

It smells pretty unpleasant to... may be worth a go - just don't use it neat anywhere! Oweee.

I'm off to buy teaspoons and toilet roll then a sweep. Then I can tell everyone 'teaspoons, bogroll and a good fumble from my midwife. That's what did it for me!'
