Just been for my mw appt this morning and booked for a sweep on Monday! Eeeek!! She had a good feel and said baby is a 'fair size'.....oh dear lord......hurry up bubba lol xx


Sent from my nearly buggared iPhone!!
 
:cheer: hopefully won't be much longer for u now!

I wouldn't listen too much to what they say, both my girls I got 'oh my!! She's gonna be at least 8lb and very long!!' at 36w! 7.6 and 7.5 have that mw!!! :lol:
 
Phew!!! that makes me feel better thank you :) Im sure they just do it to try and shock you into labour lol!

I am slightly worried in the 'head' department though as everyone in our family has huge heads :pray:
 
I had a sweep yesterday! unfortunately it has'nt done anything but it's worth a try. It's just a little bit uncomfortable really but it's not for very long, i had a bit of cramping after and baby was moving around like crazy but all settled after about an hour. Good luck and hopefully baby will come before then! xx
 
Yeah I was worried about the head too as my sisters head was MASSIVE!!
There's no way of knowing baby's weight til it's out really.. I don't know anyone who has lived up to the mws estimations..
Don't worry the head kinda caves in during birth which is why they have cone heads after.. So even if someone says the head is huge.. It's not actually passing thru that size!!
