how long was it before you went into labour? I am terrified of being induced, after too many horror stories!

I had my sweep 8 days overdue and my mw said I was already 2cms dilated! I went home at 5, lost my plug at half 7, started to lose my waters at 8, went to hospital at 10 and DD was born at 12:59 the next day. Worked for me, but I was already progressing IYSWIM?

I had one last Tuesday at 40 + 3 but no joy so far. We have another one on Tuesday if nothing happens at the weekend, then if all else fails induced next Friday. Can't wait to meet little willmer now and feel like a whale!

Had one at 40+2. I was already 5cm dilated but had no contractions. Nothing happened. Had another 48 hours after that.

Waters artificially broken later that day, in labour an hour later. Ds2 popped out an hour after that.

Mine was a long time ago but had sweep day before due date and started labour within an hour-delivery 19 hours later.

I had my sweep today (40+3 days) and she said 'outer cervix' was soft but inner still closed...she broke through and did sweep. Not painful, only a deep uncomfortable feeling. Said she could feel baby's head, which made me burst in tears...now it all seems sooo real!

Our wee boy arrived at 7.38 on Tuesday morning, he obviously didn't want to be induced either! was admitted to the labour suite at 5.30, and after three big pushes he was here, got to come home that eveninggrin

5pm?! Bugger! I hope you've got a good book on the go...grin

With any luck they'll start with the low level stuff and give you a fighting chance.

Lots of luck xxx
