Im 39+6 and had a sweep this morning. Turns out at my sweep I was already 3cm dilated.
Midwife has said just go home and see what happens but could still be a few days until anything happens.
Since getting home I've had constant cramps. Is this the start of it all?
Has anyone had a similar experience? Or after having a sweep how long until you went into labour?

View 6 RepliesI'm sure it's different for everyone but just curious how long everyone stayed at 3cm? Did you go early, normal, late? I knew her head has dropped bc I started peeing more than ever and sometimes only a few drops. Dr said my bags should be packed (they are!) And that my water probably won't gush when and if it breaks bc her head will be blocking. It will be more of a slow trickle.
View 8 RepliesI'm a ftm n 40 w pregnant, i've been having sex regularly with my husband to induce labour. R8 after, I get these painful period like cramps n back pain, it goes on for a few hrs but then fades away and is completely gone, this has been going on for 3 days. Could my cervix be widening? I'm already 2 cm open.

View 1 RepliesDid anyone feel really rubbish before going into labour? I'm 40+6 and started feeling awful a few hours ago. I managed some sleep but am pretty achy (period pain like) and just generally feel terrible (exhausted/flu like) but have had no good contractions. This is my 4th baby, but I don't remember ever feeling rubbish beforehand.
