I already replied to Claires thread as i didnt see this one first.

I had no signs of labour and at 4 days overdue went for a sweep at 1.30pm and went into labour at 6pm that same night. Plus i was told that my cervix half way between being favourable and unfavourable and it was behind the baby so she pulled it forward, so we wernt sure if it was going to work (luckily it did).

I wouldnt sy it was sore either, just really uncomfortable and quite undignified to have a virtual stranger rummaging about in there !

good luck with it and hopefully you get good news or it sets you off .

thanks everyone.
Ive just had my midwife poke around..and she couldnt do it. Said it wasnt ready altho she could feel the head and my cervix was soft. Shes gonna come Wednesday morning (just before i leave liverpool) to try again.


after she went i started crying lol. i felt all positive this morning now just feel like im gonna be here (pregnant) forever.

Ah I hope you're feeling better now, just think like i am (even though it don't make me feel a LOT beter) but at the most you've got 2 weeks left now. But hopefully little one will be here way before that
