I'm 40+1 (FTM). Had a sweep yesterday at around 10am. Immediately started getting period pain and low back pain. I stayed on my feet pretty much all day. The pain lasted until the evening when I laid down to watch telly and then fell asleep. I had absolutely no pain all night, and woke up a few times thinking it probably didn't work.
But now I'm say here in bed (6am) and the period pain has suddenly come back! Not feeling any contractions but the pain is coming in waves. Also, just went to the loo because it felt like I really needed a poo (sorry) and lots of brownish/mucousy discharge.... I'm guessing that's a show???
What do you think??
After 2 false starts last week, I don't want to get my hopes up but this feels promising!!
(DP already at work hence my speculation working it's way online...
)

That's a show. Mine was like period pain in waves. Could still be a while yet but I rang the hospital and when the pains got closer,went in. Your dh may make his way home 
Oooh! That's reassurring then!! I've had a wonder around town with a few twinges, BH and just general period pain. Bought a cake 
(obviously, a cake a day post due date is probably medicinal) and now sat at home eating it.
Come on baby!!!!!
Was that a 40w sweep Hartmel? Is this your 1st pregnancy.
My pains have stopped again 
My early labour pains were all over the place. My waters went on the Friday midnight and I went in and got checked. They said if I hadn't gone into natural labour by the Sunday I'd go in for an induction.
Through the Saturday and into the night I was really uncomfortable but nothing consistent. I was up a few times on the Saturday night but didn't even wake DP because it wasn't anything to write home about IYKWIM.
Went into triage on Sunday morning for induction. Got checked. Turned out I was already 4cm dilated. So just because they're easing off then coming back doesn't mean it's not on it's way.
Yes it was my 40 week sweep and it is my second pregnancy.
My son is taking a nap now (he is 13 month old) once he wakes up I will go and get checked out as my lady parts down there are very swollen. Woke up early this morning with period type cramps. Lasted for an hour and came every 8 min. Then nothing through out the day I have been getting them and sometimes they are so painful and sharp it does not feel normal.
Oh and I live in America so we only have 1 pm right now (just in case you are wondering why my son is taking a nap)
Definitely sounds like a show to me!
Congratulations and good luck!
Xxxxx
But fed up. All the pains, mild contractions and show have ended up going nowhere.
Just getting really mild BH now, roughly 10 mins apart.
Good luck - hope baby doesn't keep u waiting too long. getting a few back pains but reckon I'm just kidding myself

I've been drinking raspberry leaf tea but prob not enough. been bouncing on ball and going for walks. back pain has stopped now but still getting a few twinges. I'm seeing the Midwife Friday when I'll be 39 weeks - hoping she'll do some prodding about which might encourage baby to get moving. failing that maybe some fireworks at the weekend might help
