Yay - engaged and feeling a bit crampy!!

[Jendon]

Hi Girls,

Had a MW appointment this morning and she said that my little boy's head is "well engaged"!! Made another appointment for 2 weeks time but she doesn't think I'll make it! If I do she wants to give me a sweep - is this normal (wasn't offered last time) before due date??

Anyway I have been feeling a bit crampy ttoday and a bit of back ache - is it all in my head?! I hope not! Must get my house cleaned!!

When are you due hun?

I was talking to my midwife yesterday about sweeps as i had one last time i went over, and she said they don't offer them till you are term plus 7 days oer she said sometimes they do them at term plus 5 but it is better to leave you till term plus 7...

Not sure why she is offering you one if you are not even due by then

If you are close to due date I do hope your cramps lead into something bigger for you I can't see your ticker so don't know when you're due. x


ps i had my sweep at term + 9. i was seen at term + 2 but she wanted to wait til the following week's appointment to do it.

I am due in 2 weeks 6 days (not that Im counting!) so will be 39 weeks if and when she does the sweep. I didnt think you had one till at least 40 weeks? She said she would have done one today but was not allowed as I am 37 weeks. I was a bit baffled cos I havent even asked for one or anything and I am in fighting fit health and so is LO.

I have SPD, could that be a factor I wonder. Still got back ache, I have definitely reached the symptom spotting stage now - so annoying!!!
