I don't think the sweep is what made the plug move... your cervix is moving girl !
How late are you ?

Very clever, catsnkids - lots of luck with this one!

OP posts:

moondog · 12/01/2005 22:42

Oh! Not what I expected at all! Was about to give you sensible advice about purchasing universal travel plugs from the quite quite mad Magellan's catalogue...

Best of luck anyway! XXXX

catsnkids · 12/01/2005 22:42

If you are not contracting, a bath isn't going to slow anything down.

I always end up having my waters broken before things really speed up.Last time 2 hours to dilate and 15 min to push db out.But was in hospital for 3 hours and only went from 3 to 4 cm before they decided to break waters.

catsnkids · 12/01/2005 22:55
