Ok ladies i have mw this afternoon, i am 39+5 and i am unsure of whether she will offer a sweep.

the thing is Adam is poorly and has phoned in sick at work today (not like him at all)

SO if she offers me a sweep do i have it (i want this baby out badly) or do i say no cos Adam is less that useless when he is ill and it will annoy me that he is feeling sorry for himself.

you have 2 hours to help me decide

When is your next appointment? If its quite soon I'd not sweep but if it's ages away I'd sweep lol

It will be another weeks time

Its worth a try, i had a sweep when preg with Adam, it did nothing,

i say go for it, im sure your oh will pull himself together if babys on the way x

i say go for it! they can take up to 48 hours to work (if successful) mine took 40 hours to work
ian was ill when i was in labour was like somethin out a film with him passing out whilst i had epidural

OMG Jo, how fast has your pregnancy gone!! Edith obviously isn't in as much a rush to get out as Alice was!!

My Midwife wouldn't do one until I was 41 weeks.

I had one at 41+2 by Midwife, then 41+3 by Midwife at Hosp when I went into be assessed. I then went in to be induced at 41+4, so I don't know if it would have worked or not but the Midwife at hosp said she thinks had I not been induced on that day I would have gone myself.

Good luck xx

bleurgh @ sweep!!!!

But don't listen to me hun - take Char's advice she is much more grown up and sensible and no where hear as much of a wimp as me

But OMG!!!!! you are gonna have baby Edith here very soon either way I'm so excited for you hun!!

Ooh is Edith gonna be our first BANDA baby? have we had one yet?

Got everything crossed for a nice quick, calm and painfree labour for you hunni!

Good luck!

haha me grown up and sensible haha not me! thought you knew me debs lol

I'd go for it! as they dont always work, and sometimes still can be days till the effects.
but sods law no I would go for it.

ooo 1st BANDA baby hope not too much longer for you hun!! x x

I would go for it too.

I would get narked if James was ill, as he would be useless, but I think by over 39 weeks I would be done and ready for a sweep x

pmsl laura read it wrong thought you said 'I would get naked if james was ill..' thought huh why?? only way to cheer him up hehe

no im the same if rob was ill Id be buggered. he'd be dying nad his needs would be far more greater than mine being in labour!

Thats exactly how i feel about Adam, he is ill and i should be more sympathetic but grrr, he mardi feel sorry for himself face is pissing me right off now, i would be even worse if i was in labour!


i know there is a chance it wont work anyway but i am done with being pregnant now.

i have just found out that my tosser ex's girlfriend who is due on the 3rd is in labour and its not fair!!!!!!!!!!!

although she has been having contractions all night and they are not getting closer together but i am still jealous that she is in labour!

I know how you feel!! this will be me in few weeks!!

I know 5 people due the same time or weeks after me (local people) and all being taken in early next few weeks and ones already had hers. So il be the one who goes over and left! grrr

go for the sweep I would!!

I would definitely go for it - unless your oh has a proper illness, if it's just 'unwell' I'm sure he will snap out of it if you go into labour haha plus it generally takes a while to work (although is that true of second babies???)

do it!! x

Mari, he is just unwell, he had 12bloody hours sleep last night, i had about 5 and he is still mardi!

he woke me up 3 times before 1 am with his snoring!

Watch this, i will get there and she wont do it!

I would do it xx
like others said it dont always work x

I wud go for it. I hd mine at 38 weeks - went into labour 3 days later. They dont always work but i wud deffo go for it cos my mw told me it can take 3 days to work! x

DO IT!! I want to see how gorgeous she is

Well in that case I think you should do it to spite him! haha, hope she offers at least

Mine took 3 days too

She wouldn't do it!!!!


They will not do it before 41 weeks so I have to wait until next thursday when she will come to my house and do it!

I could actually cry :'( I knew I shouldn't have psyched myself up for it!!


Boo, I layed it on so thick too! Ah well, back to waiting around!

booooooo! I still don't understand why they are so mean about it, you never know though at 39+5 you could go pop at any time! (How bored of hearing that are you haha)

I don't think you'll have too much waiting to do Jo! Remember us all moaning that we hadn't had any signs that labour was imminent? Well in the next breath Alice had arrived! She certainly didn't hang about and took us all by suprise!

I can't wait to see pics of little Edith and hear your birth story!!! xxx

Get down and funky with OH! Might bring it on, but in the meantime..have some fun! You know may be awhile till either of you get "some" again! xxx

Jen, i have more chance of catching the plague...... twice, he is dying!!!!!!

the only 'fun' i could get would be solo! and that wouldnt achieve the aim

the only good thing is that i am actually enjoying my clary sage baths!
