QUOTE (soontobegran @ 10/04/2012, 10:08 AM) No they can't The cervix can get swollen and appear to go backwards in labour but it is not a muscle that opens and shuts, it closes after the uterus empties. Is baby's head right down? Waiting for news! Hey there, Nothing yet at all. Baby was right down, 3/5 last week when I had my sweep, with the 2cm dilation and 80% effacement. That was last Tuesday. Seeing the stand in OB tomorrow, but doubt they'll book me in for induction, since my OB gets back to work on Monday and I figure he'll want to take care of things then.

Good luck Socrates! No baby for me either so I understand your frustration! (Despite regular B-H for 4 days now!). Also seeing Ob tomorrow... Fingers crossed for some movement at the station soon!

I had to wait two weeks and ended up hitting my induction date anyway - so who knows how long it would have really taken! I hope it starts to progress more for you soon.

Not long I'm sure! With my first I had a show at midday and a baby at 1:25am (4hr labour). For my second I had a show in the morning and a baby at 11:05pm (1.5hr labour). Both times I don't recall losing a plug. Best of luck!

Do I 'win', STBG? :-) We had our boy overnight! Socrates I know you were worried about a precipitous labour with this one and I think we were a bit similar with our firsts.... Induction and fast labour. Well I had five hours from first contraction to delivery this time, so half as quick as the last. Hope you're going well and meet your bub soon, if you haven't already!

Yay! Obstetrician has booked my induction for next Tuesday, so all good now! Things could happen sooner of course naturally, but at least now there's a plan!
