I'm Currently Feeling:  | spoke to the midwife about going ovedue
i rung the midwife as im due tommorow but im pretty sure nothing is guna happen, my next appointment is next friday i will be 41 weeks and 1 day. At my last appointment no one mentioned anything about if i go overdue, so i thought id call and find out what will be done. So she told me i will have to have a stretch and sweep next friday then get booked in to be induced after that. has anyone still had to be induced because the sweep didnt work? when you are induced what do they do? getting slighty anxious as im new to all this x   | | | | Status: Offline

Oh no!! That doesn't make me feel very confident now. How much did bubs weigh if you don't mind me asking?
I had a sweep on Tuesday, nothing happened but I lost my mucus plug on yesterday. I have another appointment on Tuesday 26th with my MW so she'll probs do another sweep then and discuss my induction and hopefully book me in.
I just want it over with now. I hope you go before your sweep is due honey, if not I hope the sweep does the trick. Seems there are a few ladies who are in the same position  |

| I've got my stretch and sweep on Monday, I'll be 41+1, I'm praying that triggers labour. |
