Sorry for the TMI post but 8 days overdue and deep in the process of over analysing every symptom to the nth degree!
Had a sweep yesterday. Midwife said it was a really good one and would give me the best possible chance in the next 48 hours.
I bled a lot during and after the sweep, pretty certain a 'show' was present within the blood. Felt really shakey and weirdly emotional all day yesterday (alongside the pain).
Today, I feel great! No pain, loads of energy, baby moving as normal. I went for a long walk earlier. Didnt even get any pelvic pain. Planning on doing my yoga DVDS in a minute.
Anyhoo.... Just now I suddenly had to dash to the loo with very loose bowels. Tummy feels all grumbly now like another 'clear out' is on its way (sorry!!! 
). Obviously ive read this is a sign of pre labour so now my hopes are right up!!
My question is, did you have this before going into labour? If so... how long between the loose bowels and contractions starting??
(It could just be a dicky tummy of course, so trying to keep this in perspective....)
PS apologies if my 'am I about to go into labour?' posts are annoying! If so, please just ignore!! (I'm annoying myself!!)
