@sadeyedlady they are the same around we’re I live (Norfolk) they won’t sweep you until after 40 weeks unless advised by a dr for a good reason. What time is your appointment?

This gorgeous boy now weighs 8ib 9! X

Can't believe it but after telling midwife about tightenings and losing plug I was offered a sweep!

Had sweep at 4.30. She said I am 2 cm dilated but not effaced. She thinks sweep will be successful as my cervix was very "stretchy". Anybody know what that means?

 

[Mummy2Corban]

@sadeyedlady no way! That’s a whole lot amazing! How are you feeling??? Hmmm… I’m unsure maybe that she could stretch it more than 2cm?? Exciting though! I have all crossed something happens in the next few days!

 

[Mummy2Corban]

@playgirl666 lovely little boy!

 

[sadeyedlady]

@Mummy2Corban Feeling crampy since but I think that's quite normal after a sweep. Dont think anything will happen anytime soon to be honest.

@playgirl666 Hes just beautiful

Fx @sadeyedlady. Great that they did a sweep.

 

[Mummy2Corban]

@sadeyedlady I have all crossed. If not hopefully the next one will seeing as it will be your 2nd one!

@sadeyedlady so great they did a sweep. Hopefully not long now.

Midwife came today, baby lost only shot 7% otherwise all good. Get another visit Tuesday. Milk is coming in too

 

[sadeyedlady]

@daniyaaq Thats great news. How is he feeding for you?

Afm got some pains around 8 for an hour or 2 but they died off. On the plus side I slept like a baby last night. First time in months.

Have to venture out today to get sweets for trick or treaters tomorrow. Hope we didn't leave it too late and there's still stuff left in the shops.

 

[sadeyedlady]

Just had a bloody show. No pains though

That’s a good sign right.

Hopefully. It could just be the after effects of the sweep though. Not too pushed on having a Halloween baby lol

Happy due date. Come on baby let's get this show on the road.

Zac is so much more interactive now. We had smiles today. Ds3 is full of cold again and won't stop kissing him so I'm sure he is gonna be full of snot soon.

I'm really not impressed with the job they did stitching me up this time. The edges over lap so much that it's gonna take forever to fully heal and will be so uneven and lumpy. I ve been dressing it myself to avoid any infection.

@sadeyedlady didn’t realise it was due date day for you. Baby better get a move on.

Hey ladies… did any of you experience discomfort where I’m pointing in my photo? I think maybe it’s stretching as she’s dropped but I’m finding it difficult to just walk without discomfort there

Think I had discomfort in several different places depending on where he was laying. You could always contact maternity assessment for reassurance.

I ve just got home from the hospital. My incision is infected so I'm now on antibiotics 4 times a day.

 

[sadeyedlady]

@topazicatzbet Aw no thats just awful. Did they give you anything for pain relief?

Thankfully it's not too painful just a bit stingy. I'm just taking ibruphen. I caught it early as I know what to look out for so hopefully it should clear up quickly.
