Congratulations Khatif and Country Blonde.

I'm still waiting, too - 39 and 2 today. I've had loads of BH for the last few weeks but absolutely nothing else, so I think it might still be a while away. Sleep is a bit of a joke at this point, but other than that things are pretty good.

Good luck, Holly. Fingers crossed things speed up for you.

Well, been to my midwife appointment and it was really positive. Blood pressure and everything was fine, baby's heartrate was good and he/she is engaged and very low. The midwife did the sweep as she said my situation was 'ver favourable': cervix very soft and stretchy and 2cm dilated (which I'm happy with as I went from 4 cm to fully dilated in under an hour with my second son). So, here's hoping!!!

Raquel - sleep is a joke here too!

Poppy - sounds promising!! Hope it gets started for you from there fx'd for you

Afm - saw consultant this morning & she checked me again. Still 1cm dilated, but cervix has moved from posterior to anterior position since yesterday. So it's back to the gym ball for me! Have been given an induction date of 31st July if things don't get started - but my blood counts will influence whether that is brought forward or not.

Lumi he is precious

Jrepp I was thinking the same thing, I had very intense contractions for three days before they decided to induce me because I wasn't sleeping and exhausted. I hope my labor is quick next time around!

After saying I didn't really want a cervical sweep, I think I'm going to have one if it's offered at my midwife appointment this morning. I just want my baby to come now as I'm getting more and more tired, restless and achey.

For those of you who had a cervical sweep, how soon did the contractions start for you afterwards. This question goes out to all but I would be particularly interested in the answers of second/third time mums.

With my first I had a sweep and started contracting that evening. With my second I started contracting 4am the next morning.

Holly, I hope things are progressing quicker with your induction. Can't wait to see the announcement of your new baby!

Hang in there to all the other ladies who are still waiting for their babies. They will be here before you know it!
