Need some advice

[(*)FebBaby(*)]

Heyyyy everyone

Finally made it to my due date...but absolutely nothing happening

I don't even have any twinges, had no show....nothing! Can anyone give me any ideas on how to get this little one on the move?

Also...can my OH give me a sweep instead of the midwife lol? If he can, does anyone know what he needs to do?

Thanks all

I'd do all the above then have a nice hot curry!

Right well if you want to know how to examine yourself here's how

put one leg up on the toilet seat and with two CLEAN fingers put them right up as far as they will go....you should feel a very soft cervix like your gently puckering up for a kiss (but will feel like the inside of your lips) there is a hole in the center you want to gently try to get your fingers inside this gap or hole and give a little wiggle...If your ripe you should get your fingers in and some show should come away.....you really will have to get your fingers right up their as your cervix at this stage should be high and effacing. Have agood explore....but be gentle and once a day is enough.

The thought of doing that makes me cringe! Not because I think it is gross or anything, just because I'd be too scared I'd damage myself LOL
