How get things moving

[Lily189]

Hi everyone I'm 40 weeks and on saturday I had sex since I've had brown blood when I wipe and slight period pains sorta just feel like I'm on my period
I'm due for a sweep on friday and induction by the balloon Sunday
I really dont want this as it failed last time and ended in emergency c section

I'm getting so worried and just want go natural and have my vbac

Anyways I can speed things up been taking raspberry leaf capsules on my ball walking
Nothings helped so far

Is the brown blood a sign or just because I had sex

All help and advise be great tia

You don't have to go for a sweep. They can only advise you. I know how you feel though. I had two induced births at 38 weeks and was desperate to go naturally with my third. By the time I got to 40 weeks I was really stressed about it. I refused any intervention at that point and was having pains for a good few days before. He was born at 40 weeks five days.
