Bbayface I haven't had a sweep before but I would defo give it a try they won't do it in my town untill you get to your due date but I imagine I will prob get one when they try the induction.
1 week today <3
 
I didn't have one with my induction Char. When they do a sweep it releases prostaglandins which could start labour. When I had my induction I got a pessary which is covered in prostaglandins and that works more effective than a sweep. I've heard that sometimes they try a sweep a week or so before induction to see if they can start things naturally. X
 
We don't get them here until past our due date either. I am quite happy to wait. Still washing and cleaning the house. Seems pointless - as soon as one room is done it needs doing again. Hanging up the baby clothes is sooooo cute.

Everything finally seems to be clicking into place with regard to our labours. My mw came out yesterday with my home birthing box. Got the home birth group tonight to ask where my pool is! OH hates going - he feels like he is in a room of chanting Mother Earth hippies. Next pregnancy I am taking him to some hypno birthing classes.

Gorgeous bump baby. Mine is the same. Not engaged yet. Mw said to start using the birthing ball.
 
Thanks ladies! I was surprised she mentioned it so early. I would be worried my waters might accidentally break and then I'd be induced (though I'm not sure this is a risk or not). But the thought of speeding things along is very appealing to me right now :haha:

Pebbie, let me know how your sweep goes if you can!!

Exciting that your birth preparations are going well Passion! I know about the cleaning it's mostly all day to day stuff. But a few of my close girlfriends came over today and helped me organize the cupboards to prepare for our dishwasher and they went mad!! Cleaned the fridge, the living room, the dining room, the bathroom, vacuumed. :cloud9: love them so much!!!
 
Wow I could do with some helpers like that babyface!
 
Same here! Wish I had a cleaning brigade come round.
So I had bp monitoring today. It's still high but I also had a few contractions. I've been having a few since last night which are quite painful but not even close to being regular. The midwife said they might see me sooner than Tuesday! Wishful thinking hahahaha. So I got a birthing ball today an sat bouncing on it this afternoon but when I got off it I got really sharp pains inside. I still feel them now when I walk around. Anyone else got these pains during/after bouncing?
 
I've has some shooting pains down there after bouncing pebbie and sometimes they hang around. I've just figured its my cervix getting a work out :haha:
 
Just read ur comments about birth balls so iv plonked myself on mine! Ha !! X
 
I know they are so amazing!!
i'm going to bounce a little now too :)

we just set up the crib :cloud9: it feels so great to have that done. its so big though, I almost feel bad putting the tiny baby in there haha
 
Hahahahaha get bouncing girls!
So I really want this sweep to work so I've used epo last night. Didn't feel anything but having period pains this morning. Wonder if it starts to work.
Think my husband is desperate too as I was snoring like crazy last night apparently lol. Feel a bit bad though
 
Char that seems to be flying!

God love your friends baby. They obviously have the nesting thing going on! You should ask them or a meal for the freezer when they ask do you need any more help.
 
Hahahaahah yeah have that scheduled in for Tuesday after the sweep lol!!!
 
yes passion that's a great idea!!
wow char i think you'll be the first!!! :)
I know its a little late but I think I'll give epo a try. do you use the tablet or just the oil pebbie and how do you go about doing it?
 
I'm doing the insert the gel caps. So I inserted 2x 1000mg tablets last night. I've been having slight period pains today and had a LOT of watery discharge which got a bit thicker with blood in it just now so I think my plug might be going :) It was the first time I've used epo too but I read that if you're body is ready it'll work pretty quick. Give it a go I'd say! X
 
Oh and I also went for a long walk and have been bouncing on the ball a lot
 
There is a lot going on around here at the moment! I'm not even full term for another week.

I'm not really going to be trying anything to bring on labour but I hope it happens naturally before the induction/c-section talk I have booked.
 
Seems like a couple of you will have baby's here very soon!
 
Feels like my baby is ages away. I've been bouncing but anything promising looks like it has stopped.
Mil arrived late last night. It's nice to have people here to chat to.
Pelvic tilts on the ball are meant to be good for opening things up and I notice changes down there when I do little circles.
How are people getting on with swelling? My feet are so full and tight and last night my knees were so swollen that I woke up and couldn't unbend my leg :(
Health visitor came today it went fine she asked lots of questions and was happy with all our answers it seemed so she said she'll pop back after baby is here.
Char- super jealous x
