Sweep done and booked in for induction!

[orangefluff]

Had the sweep this morning, lovely midwife came to my house, one I hadn't seenbefore but I hope she's there at the birth.
She found my cervix straight away and said it is very favourable and I am 2cm dilated already. She could feel babys head and said there is a lot of hair! The sweep itself I didn't find too bad, am bleeding and crampy now and hoping it will have started things off.
She said because of my situation (OH going back to Afghan on Monday for 4 months) that she'd ring hospital for an induction date, and got me booked in on Thursday at 1pm! Love her!! She said that hopefully things will progress naturally but wanted to book the induction just in case so that my husband def gets to meet baby before he goes.
So she said to rest, sleep and eat as much as poss so that's what I'm doing! Little nervous and excited at the same time.

Ooh, how exciting, hopefully she will have got things moving for you and you will avoid the induction. Fab news that your OH will get to meet baby before he goes away again!
