Last sweep today

19 Replies

so we will see if it works!!! I have been having a few pre labour symptoms. . Loads of strong tightenings when on ctg they ask me if I can feel them but they aren't painful. .. but I had a really big tightening on Mon went up to 100 in the ctg monitor and lasted about 20 seconds but before I had it I came over all funny like I was going to be sick and I felt my boobs contract like I was going to leak milk. .. never experienced that before and I've had it a few times since!... was on the ctg for over 2 hours yesterday as little mans heart beat kept having decels midwife took the trace to labour Ward in the end cos she was not 100% happy but she said the drs said it was ok. ...so we're see what today brings. . :)

Fingers crossed for u, my first sweep didn't work whn I was 40 weeks, but my secon one at 41 weeks worked working 2 hours. I had been getting tightenings and had my show that mornig, went for my sweep at 3pm, went into labor at 5 and had my baby girl at 11am the next morning. So let's hope that it work as good for u x

With my last that happened a repeatedly in the evening (when the children were in bed & I relaxed I reckon) and I started getting in the bath each time - the contractions would then die off - until the night when I got in and they got stronger and stronger and he was born the following day. It worked as a way of decided whether to go to bed or stay up! Sure he will be here soon, hang in there! x
