Slow labour

[rosebud]

I've been in slow labour since Monday night (7days ago now!), I had a sweep Monday afternoon and another on Wednesday... Lost ALOT of bloody show on weds and thurs too.... I keep getting contractions for a few hours and then it stops.
I'm so frustrated and feeling like it will never end.
I'm 8 days overdue today. Any advice would be appreciated xxxx

This is a bugger. I've been in same boat since a sweep on Monday. Contractions come in runs of a few hours usually in the small hours of the night. It's exhausting. I'm in tomorrow for induction though so that's my end in sight. If you're overdue then they'll offer induction very soon. Bonus of all the silly false starts is that it is doing something even if it's not the full monty so hopefully induction is just a little nudge.

Oh not long brill it induction then, good luck!
they have told me I will likely be Friday
which would be 41+5 and day 11 of slow labour ��
So frustrating xx

I had at least a week of his with my son, every morning I'd have a few hours of tightenings, 5 minutes or so apart and practised my breathing through them, bounced on my ball but nothing. In the end I thought my waters were trickling so went to get checked. Told no and I could go home, was changing pad over and whoosh my waters properly went. I know it's really frustrating having it all come to nothing every day but on the plus side my labour when it did start was only 3 hours xxx

Hope things kick off properly for you soon x
