Hello
I'm sitting here at 39+2 in hospital, had a sweep on Saturday (trying to avoid a second cs), doctor said he'd managed a good sweep because neck of womb was slightly open but didn't hold out much hope of it working (dc1 emcs at 37 weeks, I never laboured).
Anyways had a small bit of cramping Saturday night, nothing major. Lost mucus plug yesterday at 5pm, then waters broke very unexpectedly at 10.30pm while I was asleep, never woke so fast! Pressure and minor contractions started soon after, now here we are at 5.45am and they are 3-15 mins apart lasting 15-50 seconds.
I've been googling to distract myself because I can't get comfy to sleep, just to see a rough estimate of what kind of time frame to expect, but it's all guesswork with the sweep, being "only" 39 weeks etc.
Anyone have stories or guesses for me? I wish our hospital's policy was to let you do early labour at home but it's not so I'm stuck here, keep me company mn!
