I may still have time left but I thought after my bloody show this morning, it could be a good sign things are going to happen ? I’m due tomorrow - ended up going to hospital last night as bad stitch like feelings across my tummy & they checked all was fine & said it’ll be baby running out of room so pressing on nerves .. I feel fine today but after the show this morning quite anxiously waiting for labour to start ?

I had a sweep and had a show the next day (although it wasn't bloody so this might make a difference). I didn't go into labour but was processing and received a further sweep before going in to be induced. All that was needed for for my water to be broken and I went into labour myself.Hope you have a smooth labour and delivery xx

Get bouncing on a ball and take a long walk, I'm sure that's what got my labour going x

Had numerous shows and sweeps with my babes... Still got induced 🙄... Have my waters broke and have the drip 😂 All the best these work for you, I'd have loved a more natural labour! ❤️

Yep with both of them, they were just too comfy! I tried all the old tales to get them to budge so if I were you, it's save your energy and get all the rest you can! Xxx

thanks so much xxx

good luck! I had a bloody show the next morning but then nothing happened. Was induced 3 days later with baby making an appearance pretty swiftly the following day!! Good luck to you over the next few days!! Exciting!!!

they said I won’t be induced until term + 12 so that’s like 12 days from now .. I’m hoping he makes an arrival before then but we’ll see xxx

that’s annoying. They always say to keep active, cos the weight of the baby on your cervix can help…so maybe have a go at that?

I think it’s more preference too like if I really wanted I could ask to be induced but they don’t feel the need to do it until 12 days after in low risk & if I can avoid induction i definitely will try .. I’ve have a good long walk today so hoping it’s all helping xxx
