I'm 40 weeks and 3 days pregnant (first pregnancy) I'm getting no contractions just pains as I'm like on my period, I've had my sweep was told by the midwife i was 1.5cm dilated, I've been losing my mucus plug bit by bit for about a month, been going for walks and using the birthing ball still showing no signs is there any tips out there that could help me speed things up?
