My Ob has offered to give me a stretch and sweep at my next appt. if I haven't gone into labour befire then. I will be 38 1/2 weeks at this appointment. I had a 'show' last Monday and have had a few nights of start stop contractions, but nothing that lasts.

Has anyone else had one done at about this time, and had this started labour? My Ob suspects I have already started to dilate as I have lost the mucous plug already. I am in two minds about it as part of me feels I should just let things happen on their own.
