Overdue and so upset

5 days overdue. I’ve had 2 babies before and was never this overdue.

I’ve had 2 sweeps. Last one being yesterday and the midwife was really positive but nothing has happened!!

According to midwife, 3cm, fully effaced (although not that sure what that means!) and baby is 4/5 engaged. She said my waters were bulging

I’ve lost my mucus plug on Wednesday.

i had contractions for 3 hours after the sweep and now nothing.

any positive stories of similar and birth actually starting without induction??

17 minutes! You are a warrior, congratulations 💐

(I was reading the "it will be fast" comments thinking will it heck mine were all well over 42 weeks & all long back to back labours 🤣)

@Arglefraster I was going on the 3cm fully effaced with not being aware of any contractions Wink

I had my 4th 42 weeker in 1 minute provide you ignore the 2 lots of induction gel and pain for the 11 hours it took to get me into established labour Grin

My bishops score was bloody 1 after the first 6 hours of agony of being induced 🙄
