Hi gals,

According to my Ob, my cervix is still on the "longer" side but is definitely soft, bub's head is well down and I'm 1cm dilated - Ob reckons there's a 50/50pc chance I'll go in to labour before my next appt (next Wed). As she was doing my internal she said she'd have a "feel around" which may encourage things, but not sure if that meant a strip and stretch (have i got that terminology correct?) as I've never had one before.

Hmmm ... maybe I should give the house a clean today just in case .

Anyway, I'm just pleased to know things are starting to happen ... though realistically I realise I could still go several days overdue. Anyway, I'm off to an accupuncture session shortly, so might see if she's prepared to help things along a tad.

Danni K - I continued to have tightening across the tummy and period cramp type feelings on and off into the evening yesterday. Had an uninterrupted night's sleep (I've been lucky like that) and initially woke up this morning with the same period cramp type feeling. However, now it's really just the odd mild BH. Sorry to hear you've been in a bit of pain - hope you're keeping as comfortable as you can.

Guess I'll wait and see what eventuates, and I'll keep on drinking raspberry leaf tea like it's going out of fashion.

Cheers all, Andie
