s&s and contractions

[beansbeans!]

So lucky me had a stretch and sweep done at lunchtime today Since then i had some bleeding but that has stopped. But since getting it done i have been having regular contractions every 8-10 mins apart, they are uncomfortable and painful but nothing too unbearable.
Is this the start of things, or am i getting my hopes up? What can i do to help things along?
thanks!

I had a S&S with my last baby, when Dr did it he said I was very soft and that he would be surprised if I didn't have bubs within a few days.

Almost as soon as I walked out of the Dr clinic I was feeling contractions. Can't remember having any bleeding. The sweep was done at lunchtime, continued with strong tighetings for most of the evening, by the time I went to bed they had calmed down a bit. Then they started again at around 1.30am.. were 15 mins apart but I sort of new that they were the real deal. I got to hospital at around 8am and he was born at 10.20am.

Good Luck I hope it has worked for you.

No advice, just wanted to say good luck and hope to be reading your BA very soon.

Sounds like the real deal to me. When I was having contractions all day that were not getting close together I danced really bouncy around the house and sure enough within the next hour they were alot closer.

Good Luck.

Thanks ladies,

The ob seemed to think that it wouldnt happen, and that induction on thurs would be more likely... Maybe time to go jump on the trampoline?

Beans there is a great yoga app if you have an iPhone with videos of some of the common positions for optimal foetal positioning and helping baby along. I'll look up the name in a tic.

It's YogaMama

[beansbeans!]

Thanks ladylove! I shall look it up.

Well on the tmi front, Im pretty sure I just had a show, and contractions seem to be getting a tad closer together and stronger.

Fingerscrossed tonight is the night we welcome our little one into our arms!!!

Best of luck!

(I was the same a OP, didn't do much other than give me alot of pre labour and no progress)

There is something extremely exciting about knowing that someone is so close to meeting there baby and awaiting the news.

BB - it worked for me with DS. On the Tuesday morning, had a S&S. That night started having contractions - 2am Wednesday morning went to the Hospital and 6:56am he was born (via c-sect but I was in labour)

Been thinking of you hun! Can't wait to read your BA!

Stalking...

[beansbeans!]

meh.
grrrrr.

nothing...

Had regular contractions 4mins apart, lasting a min. At some I went to bed to lay down, passed out. Contractions lessened (obviously), and now Im up and not sure what to do. I have a lot of downward pressure, Ive had more show, with blood. Now I feel lost, never had this before.
