Hey all, 39+5 weeks today I had my sweep yesterday I was 1cm dilated and cervix was soft and shortening (is this a good sign?) anyway! All lastnight I was having lightening crotch and it was horrible [shock] this morning woke up cramping like period pain that won't go away and I feel ALOT of pressure down there when I'm standing or walking, I lost my mucus plug (no blood in it) this morning when I went to the toilet (looked like a big lump of snot [sad]), are these any good signs that Labour will be starting soon [halo] did anyone else have the same experience and a successful Labour from it! And what should I look out for and what could help me go into Labour! [grin]
