Had my sweep! ***BABY IS HERE***

Fingers cross for your vbac Hun the contractions will ways start really irregular for a bit first so fingers crossed I had really bF irregular contractions for three days untill the last twenty mins went from 3cm to 8-9 lol!! So good luck lots of baths n sleep when I was givin up my contractions started hehe!! X x x
 
Morning ladies! I woke up to a nice blob of blood stained mucus on my underware this morning - how lovely! Eww!

Im seeing midwife tomorrow for another sweep! :) Fingers crossed my cervix has changed... Last time consultant said it was still long and thick but could insert 1 finger so im guessing thats around 1cm lol
 
sounds like things are happening. :yay:

When the consultant examined me last week she explained to me how it works.

She said that mine was long too - 4cm - and she could insert her finger right to the top of he 'tube' to the opening. The opening is the part that dilates. Mine was closed. I was joking with her saying get someone with bigger hands to give it a jiggle! She said that smaller hands are able to reach better because while it's not dilating ie when it's long, little fingers can get right up to feel the opening.

I have to say I was surprised when she told me I wasnt at all dilated as often 2nd/3rd etc time mum's cervix dont close tightly after the last baby - I was almost 2cm soft and 50% effaced 10 day before my last baby was due.

Keep us posted on developments wont you. :)
