i had a sweep with my first, she came 2days later, but was feeling achey straight after she did it. x

I had one about 11 days ago that set off loads of cramping which died off after a day or 2 and then another a week ago that seems to have done nothing at all. I've heard other ladies have gone on to have their babies soon afterwards though so fingers crossed it works for you.

I had a sweep at 12.30 today. Was told I was 4-5 cm dilated already so it's just contractions I am waiting for. Felt crampy ever since and have now started having bloody discharge. I had a sweep with my 2nd baby and went into labour 11hrs later and had a 2 1/2 hour labour. Been told not to hang about once contractions start as it probably will be another short labour. Here's hoping, good luck everyone!

Had a tiny bit of bloody discharge but pains have gone

just to update you all on this questin I had............ I had my sweep at 3pm and by 11.30pm I was having contractions 3 minutes apart......... then at 4:30pm my waters broke....... then at 8:40am my baby boy was ON my tummy rather than in it!!!
