Helloooo!
Sorry im just comin on now! Well, the appointment went well! Im 1cm dialated & he is 4/5ths engaged! So she gave me a sweep! It wasnt too bad, i wouldnt say sore, just uncomfortable!
She said its looking good & that i should def be able to achieve a VBAC! If i havent had him by 12th weve to go back up and get another sweep! But she said that 85% of sweeps work first time round! So fingers crossed!
Ive went to the toilet and when i wiped there was quite a lot of bloody mucus...but i dont know if thats my show or if its just because shes been mucking about up there!
Ah well, we shall see!!
How r u feelin 2day? Hows ur headache?
Xxxxxxx

Steph!!!! She gave you a sweep! I am SOOO jealous, but super excited for you - Ohhhh I bet it wont be long now at all! I will need a minute by minute run down when things start happening 
I'm feeling ok today, a whole lot of nothing. Still got that headache though which is annoying. Just a dull ache that's there allllll the time (well for these past few days)
Oh it's a full moon tomorrow night apparently! x x x

I really hope it does kick something off! Ah we shall see! I dont wanna get my hopes up tho!
Oooh a full moon! Ooh we'll have the tide on our side haha!
Thats not good that u still have that headache! U should def go to the doctors! Maybe ur anaemic!
I didnt get a csection date or anythin today, she said she'd rather leave that til next week! But she said it would be around the 21st of april! Thats bloody ages away!
Do u have any plans for 2day? Xxxxxx

Come on the moon!! Send us some labour gravity... or whatever it is you do!
Yeah, I think I do need to speak to the doctor - but there are no appointments at all till next thursday (mental). So just going to have to wait now. I don't see my midwife again now until i'm 41 weeks either... I really hope I don't have to book that appointment. Maybe i'll try and call my midwife and see if she says anything about the headache...
Ah that is ages away, but I guess she wants to give you plenty of time to labour by yourself so you can go for the vbac!
Nope, no plans at all today - been napping, and eating. DS is at the childminders, so I decided to do nothing! haha! x x x

Haha, something is going wrong!
Yeah I rang the mw and just gonna pop in tomorrow so she can check blood pressure I think, she didn't sound too concerned as not having any swelling or anything and baby is moving LOADS - so will see what she says about the head!
Yep, day of nothingness is great! Although I have had too much time to get really impatient about baby!! But we've got plans all over the long easter weekend so will be busy from 2mrw onwards... hopefully going into labour - haha!
So excited that you're totally on your way!!! Have you told anyone? / is OH at home with u now? x x x

Haha! They defo sound like contractions, and if they're coming regularly / painful then it's got to be it - defo keep on ur ball tonight to encourage them along!!
That's good OH is with u anyway, are you keeping track of how long they last etc? I have an app on my phone from DS1 - cant wait to use it again to record them! (haha, what a loser!) x x x

I've also gone and got a bladder infection so feeling rather rotten at the mo. However the health visitor came today and she is now weighing 7lb 7oz!! Shes getting a double chin

Shes getting a double chin Certain - Ahhh that is a great weight gain, bless her! and well done to you as well, feeding that much is very tiring! Has the breastfeeding gotten a little easier? Sorry to hear about the bladder infection though, I hope you feel better soon 
Steph - I've heard a lot of mixed views on sweeps, but generally I think if you are on your way then a sweep first time will definitely have some good results. You said you were already 1cm etc so I think it's just given you the little push in the right direction

Morning!
Ooh good luck Steph, let us know what they say when you've rung up! Can't be much longer now, just stay as active as possible
AFM - Worst. Nights. Sleep. Ever. My back was hurting so much, then my head was just pounding - I think I woke up about 2am and didnt properly get back to sleep at all. Ugh, so tired now!
