Thank you all so much for your reassurances! I was in such a blue funk yesterday about all of this as the contractions had done "nothing" - whilst this isn't at all painful if it's labour, as it isn't it ruddy kills!

I even attempted to eat a curry last night, that's how upset I was! (I did suggest if Liebling comes today we could call him Logan Josh... DH didn't like that plan.)

However, I did have some bleeding after my sweep, which I believe is normal (phew, I could have freaked out when I saw that in my pants!) and the pains are getting worse and worse, so there is hope yet! At least I didn't feel the need to go to the loo every time I woke up last night in case my waters broke, so that means more sleep for me.

Thanks for all the tips, Alan - I'll be doing my best to follow all of them!

Kelly, thank you, I'll try my best to use an EPO capsule like that, but sex has done nothing whatsoever for my cervix.

ETA: I have an inverted uterus, would that make any difference whatsoever to my cervix position? I completely forgot about that yesterday.
