    Question Stretch and Sweep questions!

    Today i had a check up and the OB decided to do a S&S...i wanst expecting it but agreed!

    He done a VE first and found i was 2cm and head was nice and close to the cervix so thought it would help things along.

    The Middy also said that my waters could possibly break a few hours after (not yet they havent) and that i may get some mucous and blood.

    A few questions:

    For those who have had a S&S done....how long after did you go into labour?

    Did you have to have several sweeps before it worked?

    Im now loosing ALOT of mucous with blood streaks in it....is this plug?

    I had my stretch and sweep after my waters had already broken. It did stir up some regular contractions for a while but didn't get me over the edge so I had to be induced. Fingers crossed it works a treat for you though. And by the sounds of what you are losing I would go with mucous plug. Can't wait to read about your little man's arrival.
