I've been having a few cramps today. Just on and off.. Not really timeable or anything. I'm 2-3cm dilated, thinned out and I had my bloody show little under 2 weeks ago. I turned 39 weeks today so hoping this is it because as of my last post, nothing else has worked (I've tried everything to avoid induction)!! Anyone had cramps that turned into labour?
**update**
So I had another sweep today (got my induction date for the 1st). Been cramping since my sweep and had backache. Also had tightenings. Either way baby will be out before next week!!

Aw don't be jealous hun. I'm not expecting anything to happen from this. Just can't help but wishful thinking.. I really want baby out to avoid induction. I've given up trying lol!! Maybe I am just imagining the cramping.. Is that possible? Lol! I have a ball. Away to have a little bounce thanks!
It could well be the 1st signs of a possible labour yeah!
Nothing wrong with a bit of wishful thinking "especially at your stage too LOL!!
I remember going through the same thing when I was "overdue" with my son & I was booked in for an induction & everything then Hey presto! he decided I'M COMING
So far just a few tightenings. I don't think it is anything though I may ask for another sweep tomorrow and hopefully that starts me off before my induction date!
I've had two sweeps with no luck that's why my consultant wants to induce.. One more can't hurt though? Lol! Update me after your sweep please? Always interested to see the outcomes!!

Fed up :(
Failed sweep
41 weeks today and no signs of labour...
Could I be pregnant even with a negative test and what seems like my period? Or is it just my period? 
39 weeks today, slow labour for two weeks now and a sweep this coming Tuesday , do sweeps work?
