Overdue, sweeps and plug loss

[lillme]

All that you read say it could be weeks, days or hours after losing your plug to go into labour.
If your overdue does this change? I had a sweep yesterday morning & this afternoon definitely lost my plug. I'm also irritable, cry as my DH forgot coleslaw for my sandwich & unsettled. I cleaned all I could this morning before I had a nap. DH is hoping to get the bubbles ready for a water show tonight, how much luck will he have?
Is it more false hope?

I am 40+4, 5 tomorrow! So hoping it is as I want a natural birth! I'm also chilly but house not cold

Thanks all, I have cleaned and hoovered and scrubbed and ironed my way through the day. I'm restless & really hope things kick off tonight!

Me too, I'm 41+3 had a sweep on Thursday and lost my plug over Friday and today, I'm hoping it means something as my 14 days are up on Wednesday and I REALLY don't want to be induced! I have another sweep booked in for Monday!
Good luck x

Oh kaths I really hope it works for you too. I have my next sweep on Tuesday morning so hoping I don't have to make it! I guess if you have been losing your plug for a couple of days and nothing else I shouldn't be too hopeful. Labour dust sending your way, bagfuls
