Yeah maybe it's best to try and pamper yourself and relax now? I've been having some painful tightenings this morning, think it might be the start of something? I will let you know! I think the sweep should help.
I remember last time round I mistook constipation cramps for the beginning of labour lol!
And honestly I'm not even uncomfortable physically. I'm very lucky that this pregnancy has been and continues to be very easy on me. It's the stinking mind games at this point that are torture, on top of the false starts. If I KNEW what day she'd be here, even if that day was some day next week, I'd be okay with that. I guess I'm a bit more of a control freak than I ever realized. Lol!

This is exactly me!! I feel fine mostly, Im just not good at the lack of control. My DD arrived on time and I wasn't really stressed about it then. This time is so different.
I have another sweep on Sunday if no baby by then. I have been having mild contractions this evening. I think I'll go to bed soon regardless and see if I can sleep rather than trying to push them.
Danielle yes I think 4cm is active labour but if you're not having contractions I don't see how that works? Wouldn't it be awesome if you could get nearly to 10 without any contractions!
we're at the same stage itsme!! I'm also at 3cm and 60%effaced, but at both sweep I never bleed. Yep waiting game is terrible!! I've read that going for a walk or stay active after sweep/strip is helpful.
Guys I'm pretty sure I'm having 'prodromal labour' after a second night of contractions that went nowhere.

This is depressing me! The only good thing I can think is that since I'm overdue it won't go on for longer than another week. I just feel quite upset that my body won't go the whole hog. I feel like I'm so close yet so far. What a tease.

Haha it's funny you mention that bc I JUST googled prodromal labor wondering if that's what I'm experiencing. I definitely think I might be experiencing that as well. Its so discouraging. Been about 6 hours since my strip and still nothing going on here. I just feel so restless.
Sadie still waiting for an update from you today. Hoping your silence means you're in labor!
