Anyone else in early labour?

Hi all!
Thought I’d see if anyone else is in my position or wants to chat while I’m waiting for baby.
41+2 today. Had tightenings overnight, sweep this morning and tightenings every 10 minutes for most of the day. Trying to relax, eat nice things, watch happy shows and been for a walk.
But very much wishing things would speed up! Induction will be booked for the end of the week if nothing happens.
Anyone got any good tips?

Hey lovely is this your first? I'm 40 plus 5 with my second, had first sweep today and induction booked for next Tuesday with 2 more sweeps in between. Been having tightenings for 4 days but no contractions yet x

I'm not pregnant but my advice is if you have a gym ball, get on it! Keep moving as much as you can it always got mine on the way. Hoping it ramps up for you soon and you have a lovely smooth birth.

Thank you! Bouncing happily and things are ramping up nicely.
