Sweep this morning

well all - had a sweep this morning at 38 +5 and another planned for Sat morning, but im not sure if anything is happening. Feels like everything might fall out from between my legs and is all loose but sadly I doubt that will happen lol.

Any ideas for jigging it all along??

I'm booked in for a sweep on 29 Dec. Midwife told me that sex it's a good way as sperm has the same hormone that is released during the sweep. Not sure I'd be up for that at the minute! Good luck!

Hi guys, well evening went quietly but agony since half four - got the TENS on the go and just wondering how long to leave it til I go in - remembering now why I said one was enough lolxx

Get one of those bouncy gym balls and get bouncing! 😊

Otherwise sex is meant to be best, but the natural from of oxytocin is released during orgasm, so full sex isn't always necessary. I know I didn't feel up to it that late on.

I was exactly the same! I got to 41 weeks before they induced me. I was feeling incredibly sorry for myself. Lol. X

Also am panicking that this is going to be a false alarm and that it will go away and I'll have to start again - think the TENS has kicked in and taken the edge off!!
