Tmi.... 40 + 2, 'bloody show'

I am 40 + 2 today with DS2. I have been getting period pains, back ache, cramps, braxton hicks, the lot, for the last 4 weeks. I have had 2 sweeps and have been losing my mucus plug since wednesday. I have just had the 'bloody show' though, how likely is it that I will have a baby soon?
I feel like this is my first time as I was induced followed by emergency c-section previously.

Ohh I was trying for a VBAC, I was pushed into it. Ended up in a emergency under GA.

I hope it works out, sounds like its coming soon. Sending VBAC vibes to you.

Depends what you call soon.
I'll bet money on it happening in next 4 days.
You must be so fed up if you've had period type pains for 4 weeks. Eek!!

Exciting as this is, GO TO BED. You need your sleep more than anything. Dope up on paracetomol (& a small glass of wine if that helps you sleep).

How are you thatboysmum?

I am still pregnant with no other signs that baby will be here any time soon! Feeling a bit fed up, thanks for asking. I am just about to drag DP and DS1 out on a long walk to see if we can get anything moving.

Does MW want you to ring if you've had a show? I don't know what protocol is now, but might be worth a chat.

No, I did text her yesterday to tell her and she said it sounds promising and to keep her updated but that's all. I'm due to see my consultant (I had an emergency c-section the 1st time) on Tuesday who should give me another sweep. I guess it's just a case of waiting. I will just have to keep in my head that I will definitely have a baby by next weekend if not this weekend!
