Woooo, I may finally lose my plug!! How far into the cervix do they go? OH hasn't reported feeling anything inside it, so what do they sweep? If thats not a silly question.... xx

 

[Lover]

I had my baby boy, Leo on Friday 6th May - 9 days early. He was 8lbs 6oz

I believe they go all the way up the cervix because they want to separate the membranes from baby in hopes that it will get some natural prostagladins going.

congrats Lover

Hmm.... OH can't reach any higher he can only go about a cm in before he runs out of finger, so I'm guessing it will still be too high for the sweep?! xx

24 a sweep has never hurt me i wouldn't have asked for a second one if it did

 

[mummy3]

Never had a sweep so dont know how they feel, but had plenty of internals and cant say they hurt. Except for one 6 weeks after Eilidh where they used the speculum thing and it snagged on something inside, OUCH!!

Congrats Lover

Lisa, hope you have your little guy in your room now

Any news from new?

 

[hopefulmama]

Baby has to stay in the NICU another night...maybe more. I'm not dealing well with that news. The doctors are wonderful and very patiently explained it all so I understand why he has to stay (mostly to monitor him because the issue he has is a risk that something could go wrong and the consequences could be really bad so it needs to be watched so that he gets the help he needs quickly if he struggles.) we are waiting for his Edward to show improvement. I have a slim hope to room in with him for a few hours before I'm discharged but I may be sent home without my baby. I will get the chance to breast feed tonight if his glucose levels are good after taking my expressed colostrum.

I'm just sitting here in my room sobbing.
I'm happy he is doing so well but just broken-hearted that he can't be with me like all the other babies I hear on the maternity ward.

I got really mad at DH for spending over an hour with his mom in the NICU... (in his defense I told him I would take a nap). I know my MIL loves our baby but if she is in there with DH, I'm not allowed in (ward rules limit to 2 people per baby at a time). I just feel like his family should back off and not hog my child.
