stretch and sweep tomorrow!!

[Rachel1011]

please anyone with any positive feedback would be nice as really am not looking forward to it!!

are you sure you need it? there are different schools of thoughts and a lot of professionals feel they are unnecessary, ineffective and introduce additional risks (infection is one of them).

sorry, i just re-read your OP and you are asking for positive feedback. I withdraw my comments.

no actual experience (although my MW has said she'll give me one when she comes back from holiday at 40+5 if I want!) but a couple of friends have had them & while they didn't exactly describe them as "comfortable", they did the trick - they were all in labour that day or the next.

I Had one at 1 week over , went into labour 2 days later - so not sure if it was because of that.

Didnt hurt one bit and was really exciting because she was able to tell I was already 1-2 cms dilated and she was touching the top of babys head!!!

Very encouraging. Dont worry about it - embrace it!!!

good luck - come back and tell us how you got on xx

thank you =] i will let you know once is all dne and dusted! x

went well already 3cm dialted n she gave me a 80% succuess from it =]

Woo-hoo!

Quick, have something to eat & then sleep!!!

thats where im heading now just feel i should do some tidying lol!!! dont wannt get hopes to high but keep fingers crossed for me!! xx

Stop cleaning & SLEEP!

Good luck! I have one booked for tomorrow at 4pm so will be watching this thread with interest.

I had one with dd1 and dd2, did no good but with dd3 went for one, midwife told me nothing much happening, this was at 11.00am, went into labour at 8pm that night, unheard of for me, usually I am overdue. Good luck and if you can, go for a walk when you get back. Dd3 now 7 weeks old

well 4hours after strech n sweep waters broke soooo alls looking good had a couple of contractions not regular so just alot of underwear changes n a long wait!!! x

Ooooooh! How exciting!!!

I do hate to keep repeating myself, but SLEEP! it could be a looong night!

looool i did have a sleep i woke up and waters went! sooo was a shock wen i gt up! x

Haha, that's what happened to me last time - got up at 5am for a wee & waters broke all over the carpet (I was everso confused, didn't know if I'd wee'd myself or not!)

Wow, that's fantastic news

good luck with yours 2morrow hope it will be as successfull as mine was =] having regular 60second contractions every 10mins now so much waiting for them to get abit closer toegther now but good luck again =]

That's brilliant! Very best of luck - and don't forget to come back and update us afterwards!
