I saw my midwife this morning as I was due on March 1st and no sign of the little madam yet.
Midwife said the baby is laying slightly spine to spine which I am not too worried about at the moment as I will be doing everything I can to rotate her.
I have been given an appointment for Tuesday March 9th morning for a membrane sweep to try induce me if it hasn't happened by then.
Has anyone else had a sweep with previous pregnancies? What exactly does it involve and does anyone know how successful they are?
Thank you
Lucy

This might be helpful, as I wasn't sure what that was either, and had to look it up to see what it involves. Not sure how sucessful they are but seems like a less intrusive way to start the labor process.

HTH and GOOD LUCK!!!!
Franny I was due March 1st so if I do get to march 9th I will be term + 8 days. I have not yet had an internal exam (just the way things are done in UK, I guess they hold off as long as they can to do an internal like until labour starts or something).
Mind you if I do get to 8 days over due then my cervix should be nice and ripe so hopefully will have more of a chance of working
