2nd sweep

I Had a sweep at 37+6, 2nd baby. I was 2cm bulging waters. since 38 weeks I’ve been loosing my plug with show, show came first but it’s just kept coming with&without show. Irregular cramps&backache since. I’m now 38+2, was back in tonight with reduced movements and had another sweep at 9pm. Midwife said I was 3cm and she was touching baby’s head. Since coming home I’ve had a warm bath, spicy food, some pineapple juice and bouncing/rolling on the ball. I’ve been to the toilet but it wasn’t loose or diarrhoea, it was just a sudden bowel movement. I lost some more plug, with slight show. Can anyone give me any advice on what to do? I’m due induction on Tuesday and I want to try avoid if I can, although if it comes to it I’ll be attending. Thank you

Relax. You want to get oxytocin flowing to kick start labour. Watch a comedy, get a massage from your partner, orgasm can help even if you do it yourself. Get lots of happy relaxed hormones flooding your body. If you are feeling stressed your body will block labour from starting as it thinks it’s not safe.
