    Thanks so much for the reply

    So far no real braxtons, ive had the odd one, and had a few odd cramps since i had it at 11am today, but nothing since.
    Was hoping she could stretch me further, but either i wasnt ready or she didnt want to, i dont know.

    Bubs head was a little bit engaged, she didnt say how far, just said a little bit.

    Still having very very light bleeding, but only when i wipe, however i did notice something floating in the toliet bowl, so i did what any sane person would do, i fished it out lol
    It was blood red, and looked more fleshy like, than mucus plug, so im not quite sure what it was, maybe a clot, but was kinda different lol

    Baby is still moving nicely too.

    The S & S didn't work for me. I was 10days over and already 2cm and it still didn't work. I bled a little, enough to have to put a liner on.
    I have a very stubborn cervix
    I did all things like walk and be active, rock on a fit ball.

    GL, I hope it get's things started for you soon!

    Thanks Heather72

    Well i lost half my plug with bloody show at 6.30pm last night, and the remainder at 8.15am today, but alas no braxtons or contractions, or any sign that labour will happen, and bubs is still extreamly active.

    But i feel good, and calm, and as long as the other kids play nice, relaxed lol

    Well I had the S&S at 40+10 and had the bub the next day. That night I couldn't move as it really hurt my hips, I suspect that contrax started around 8am the next morning (had it at 3pm) but I didn't really think they were contrax until my waters broke that night, about 2 hours before Quoll was born.

    Good luck

    I think it was about 11 hours (although, I don't remember what time my appointment was exactly... I think 11 am) & my waters broke & I hit labour head-on. I had a few firm contractions afterwards, but then nothing until midnight...

    I had mine at 40w + 2 days, I was 4cm dilated & my waters were already bulging.

    Had s&s around midday, felt crampy about 1/2hr later, contractions started around 9Pm random, regular from midnight, wasdue to be induced at 6am (40+9), slowed right down to random as we left for the hosp at 545, completely stopped by 9, started again midday just before waters were broken, DD born 301pm.

    DS - s&s 39+6 (day before due date). No reaction. He was born 41 weeks, spontaneous waters breaking/labour began immediately 1am, he was born 7:57am.
