38 week consultant appointment!

[Nibblenic]

She gave me a sweep!
It bloody hurt! thought she was going to my ribcage at one point!

Had a scan as she couldnt find a heartbeat, but it was there and Lo is fine, just very low down (good news!!!!) And in a good postion (great news)

I can have an epidural, alough the MRI showed more unknown damage to my spine. Its not teathered anywhere

I get to go back a week today, for an induction to be book and for another sweep should this one not take


Ive got alot of iregular pains, very low in my back so im hoping its taken, as it were.

Feeling the light at the end of the tunnel girls, just need some labour dust!!!

This is what baby centre says

Membrane sweep
What is it? A membrane sweep often helps to stimulate labour and is now offered routinely to women who are overdue. They are also offered when you are 40 weeks pregnant (NCCWCH 2008: 61) if this is your first baby.

What happens if I have a membrane sweep? The membranes that surround your baby are gently separated from your cervix. A midwife or doctor can carry out this procedure during an internal examination. You may be offered two or three membrane sweeps before moving onto other methods of induction.
