I am 40+3 days, so 3 days overdue.
I had a sweep on Tuesday morning so just over 48 hours ago. Since then I have had some mild cramping in lower abdomen and lower back. I have had quite a bit of pressure, also the hours after my sweep I had as only I can describe (sorry for tmi) an unusually large amount of discharge with streaks of blood, which I'm guessing was the bloody show. However I am still getting an unusually large amount of show what I can describe as looking like snot (disgusting I know) there is just so much its concerning me it was all over my PJ bottoms when I woke this morning. I have also been up the past 2 nights with severe stomach pain and diarrhoea. Does this mean labour is near as I am to be induced a week today and I really dont want to be induced? Ps. This is my first baby so I'm a bit clueless

These are all good signs that you are heading in the right direction, good luck and keep posting, we love a live labour thread.

It looks like things are moving for you. Try bouncing on a birthing ball as it might help.

Must add not having any contractions but just very sore stomach pains

Whatever happens please remember you don't have to agree to be induced. They can recommend it but the decision is 100% yours. Xx
