Membrane sweep/induction

[chissy]

I am now over my EDD and am seeing my midwife this week to have a membrane sweep with a view to induction - can anyone tell me if they have had this done and what it what like?

Well I've now had two (Mon and Wed) to little effect! The first time, she said that the cervix was 'favourable' (sounds like some kind of spy code to me) and starting to dilate, but it hadn't budged on Wed, so I am clearly on the wrong side of the 50%, and not sure what to do other than sit and wait to be induced!

twocats....sex, nipple stimulation, walking ( not to the point of exhaustion), visualisation.....!!!

well ive got the rest of today and moat of tomorrow for my cervix to ripen but then that it as much as i wud like it to happen naturally i cant take being pg anymore so i will be induced sat nite!!!

Sex is the last thing on my mind especially when ive been having a show for the last 2days which seems neva ending i think dp wud be very shocked with that being all ova him

try the nipple stimulation then !!! like this!

thanks for the advice lulumama mite try in abit sorry if i sounded abit harsh am really struggling at the min wit being pg just want t to be ova now so i can have my baby and nothing i try seems to work i know labour will begin when my body ready and baby ready but i dont think i can wait any longer then till the end of the week!!!

you sound like every other pregnant woman who is feeling tired, uncomfortable and p*ssed off!!!!!!! don't worry.....!

I am now kind of resigned to my baby taking his time. It would be fine if only people would stop texting and phoning asking if there is any news - I feel like screaming, "if there was, I would have told you!!". I had to tell my Mum tonight that we would be in touch when there was something to report. I know people mean well and are trying to be kind, but it's driving me mad!
As for sex, I wish we could but the pain from my SPD is just too much. I now have to sleep sitting upright as there is no position that I can get comfortable in. I have tried lots of raspberry leaf tea, but nothing doing there. All in good time I guess.
