Off to HOSP for third sweep and feeling fed up!!!!!!!!!!!!

[drosophila]

Don't want an induction (horrible experience before) and have tried lots of natural alternatives with no success. Feeling anxious which I know is counterproductive and baby is a big one. Can't stop thinking about it which doesn't help!!!!

is your cervix ripening, is there a difference between how it was at the first and this latest sweep?

have lots of sex!

it's the only way

Good Luck xx

How did it go?

I have my third sweep booked for Friday. I also want to avoid an induction booked for Tuesday.

I'm trying to have lots of sex too - trouble is it takes two to tango. He feels used!

Spend the next 2 days sitting legs akimbo on a birthing ball rolling your hips.

Ladies, you really do not have to agree to be induced you know. If you seriously don't want it, then just ask for monitoring daily after 42 wks.

Think I will do that liahgen if it comes to it.

Well I am having strong contractions but eratic some are 2 mins apart and some are 11 mins apart. I have a Bishops Score of 8 and am about 3-4 cm dialated but my last birth was so quick this is really unusual for me. I think my waters are leaking but I ain't sure.

Keep thinking I will go to hosp shortly and then the contractions lessen. Such a frustrating time. Don't think you can have sex if your waters break.

oooh good luck!

Dros, remember to take into consideration the intensity and length of ctx as well as how often they are. If they are strong and long then they're almost surely doing the business.

Bishops score was good, 3-4 already, sounds like your body knows what to do.

Nipple stimulation will encorage nice strong ctx, as will orgasm.

Hoping this has missed you and you are well on way to meeting your little one. Good luck. x

They are lasting about 60 seconds but are coming anywhere between 4 and 11 mins. Deffo getting more intense. Orgasim hmmmm. COuld I be in the mood?

any news today?
