The MW uses her fingers to stretch the cervix then sweep them round inside where the babies head is seperating the membranes from your cervix. This releases hormones which cause the uterus to contract. Yesterday she could only manage a partial sweep so I've stayed active today (with difficulty) in the hope of thinning the cervix out the last little bit so that she can do a full sweep tomorrow. Can be a little uncomfortable but after childbirth not much bothers me!

I have to say that doesn't make me want that done at all :eek: I really should get used to all these things. Good luck for tomorrow then.

Yay for Jillie!

I think I might go and get an ice cream now. And someone mentioned chocolate raisins earlier in the thread and since then I have been thinking "mmmm chocolate covered raisins.......... " although having been recently off chocolate (it was hell) I am not sure how many I will eat before I feel sick.

It's a natural way of being induced, I didn't like the hospital methods as it made the contractions come too quickly and I felt not in control. Believe me once you've been through childbirth everything else you ever have done feels totally insignificant!

I hate dark chocolate! I'm like a child as the sweeter the better.

SM, when you actually think about it, particularily with a hopsital birth, how many people get a full on look at your bits it's shocking. But what's worse is that you don't actually give a toss at the time! :eek:
