Hi all
I'm 41+1 with DS2 (DS 1 was an elective section so have never experienced labour).
Had a sweep at 40+1 - no effect as cervix closed.
Had another sweep today from the consultant - cervix was 1cm dilated and soft.
Bled a fair bit post sweep and lost plug. 30 mins after started getting contractions. They're every 7 mins, painful, but I can breathe through them.
Just wondering if this is 'it' or whether the sweep has just stirred things up. Have had various contractions over the week and they have all died off after a while.
My childcare (PIL) live an hour away and I don't know when to call them!!
