Yeah its I'm obviously not enough of a drama queen and need to scream and moan down the phone in pain for them to take me seriously!
stom I think sweeps can range from uncomfortable to painful (tho I've never had one) but think of it as a necessary evil to avoid artificial induction. And I guess it will only last a few moments.
Saw mw this morning and she offered me a sweep but I declined (I'm 40+2) as I want to avoid an Xmas day baby if possible! She doesn't know if my hospital will allow me to go there for a sweep later this week, otherwise I have to wait till NYE to see her. Hopefully things will happen naturally before then.
better and dusty hope your babies stay put till 26th! I was getting loads of BH etc but it seems to have died down a bit now 
hotcross photo for your red book?? Bollocks. I have one for each of my DC's and no photo and the Hv never mentioned if. Doesn't sound like a priority for you right now either! Not sure re sheepskin. Not surprised baby wants to sleep on it, so snuggly. I know they're supposed to be good at keeping baby warm in winter and cool in summer so don't see how overheating is a problem unless it's more that they might get some bits in their mouth?
