Exciting baby developments!

Thought you'd all appreciate some exciting baby news seeing as there's a sweepstake running on when the mini immoral will be appearing!
Just got back from my term antenatal check up. Everything's fine baby wise and bump is measuring 37cms (which would make her roughly 7lb 7 if accurate) and is still 3/5th engaged. She also did an internal and said that my cervix is well on it's way and has already started dilating and they would've been able to break my waters if I were in the hospital (I'd been having really mild tightenings this morning so looks like things are starting slowly!). She also did a membrane sweep and has booked me in for induction on the 1st Feb. She did say that she doubted I would need the induction as she reckons things will start properly soon, especially having had the sweep!
Since getting back I've had some backache so fingers crossed it all kicks off soon! With Ashli my contractions started less than 48 hours after having a sweep and my cervix wasn't even nearly ready let alone already started dilating! Oooooh it's so exciting! Little bit worried because it's Steve's car theory test tomorrow and he's been working really hard towards it but it can easily be rearranged if things kick off over night. I'm sure they'll understand!!!!
Now we play the waiting game!! (Ahhh the waiting game sucks.. let's play hungry hungry hippos! )

What is a membrane sweep? Or shouldn't I ask?Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.0
