I think its actually caused a 'membrane sweep' and it separates the membranes from the cervix. FTM here so correct me if im wrong people but think the mw or doc uses a finger and kinda swivels it around in there :eek: and it can kickstart labour?
EDIT: "Membrane sweep", also known as membrane stripping, or "stretch and sweep" in Australia and the UK - during an internal examination, the midwife moves her finger around the cervix to stimulate and/or separate the membranes around the baby from the cervix. This causes a release of prostaglandins which can help to kick-start labor (Courtesy of wikipedia)
my gp said she did a partial one this morning when she did an internal exam...felt like to me she just felt around up there, didnt feel painful, just uncomfortable. She said that it could help kick start my false labour contractions into something concrete.

OK, without wanting to sound like a total twat and not really wanting to say it at all but im sure some of you must be thinking it, but does this sound like something one might be able to do ones self if really desperate. :eek:Personally ive never heard of it before this pregnancy, sounds relativly simple though. Cant be that hard to find right area. Dont think any Doc would do it though.
Spent the day walkin around the liffy valley hoping something might happen after the rotten night i had last night but no, and on way home cramps start again. God its time baby made an entrance. Def get the tight skin, think my tummy gonna rip open sometimes.0 -

what a gorgeous little man, well done!
I thought I was going to die with embarrassment today. Had my 39 week appointment, all fine, then consultant says: "I am going to examine you now, if you will get ready, I'll be back in a minute", pulling the curtains around the little bed. This combination of words with the pulled curtains to me sounded like she was going to do an internal exam, maybe checking if there was any sign of dilation or what not, but I could not have been more wrong. She measured my belly with the measuring tape and that was it. I have never been so embarrassed - good thing next time I get anywhere near embarrassment I'll have too much pain to think about it :eek::eek::eek:
Lol love it if you dont laugh youll cry
My sister had just gotten the epidural n was waiting, nurse came in to the room n was farting away like she didnt care, my sister was like , how rude is that, next thing the nurse turns to my sister n says you do realise thats you farting dont you lol, we still slag her over that 0 -

ohhhh too funny! there is no dignity in this pregnancy stuff! I was reminding myself of that yesterday after the internal having to struggle to get up from the bed with my pants around my knees so i could pull them up! I'm sure I looked sooo attractive in the moment, but sure just gotta forget about that stuff!
xiwang, I would have been mortified too, but i have to say its pretty funny stuff! I'm sure your not the first as well! 0 -

Hi all, still gave t got my laptop back... Just haven't got around to collecting it... Have been checking in on my phone but hate replying on it.. Lol.
The evenings are getting harder and harder every day... I am sooo uncomfortable now! Could have just cried last night!! I'm not sleeping much anymore either.
And my mum went into hospital yesterday, they think she has had another small stroke, it's the 3rd she's had since the summer :-( the are small and don't leave a mark but she is unwell and they have let her out of hospital tonight! I'm so annoyed cause they haven't got to the bottom of it! They just say all tests are clear.. Sorry for the rant girls, am just bothered by it all!! Gonna go up and visit her after a cuppa and a sandwich that my hubby is making!! I'll get laptop on way home. Think I might do mums Christmas tree tonight too... Poor mum no decos up at hers yet so me and my sister will sort it out!
Then I'm gonna come home and try and jump the hubby, see if it helps move anything along ;-)0 -
Hi ladies, im baaaaaack. The laptop has been gone for way too long. Im 37 weeks now today and feeling very uncomfortable.
Please tell me ye are all as uncomfortable, are unable to sleep and are waddling around like little round penguins too... make me feel some what better.
Have a little bug coming on me today, throat feels like razor blades, so the OH took the duvet down on the couch for me for the night. Nanny is taking the 3 year old off for a few hours tomorrow so i am just going to snuggle up and watch a dvd. Hate taking paracetemol but my throat is so sore and i feel so yock think i will have too. Feels good to have a little crib - i know ye understand.
Anyways ladies, how are ye? Anybody have there baby yet?0 -

Your poor mam, its such a pain when your not getting any answers, and to top it its the last thing you need with babs on the way, hope it all works out soon hun xxx0 -
Teresa I'm sorry about your mom- I'm sure its stressful when it keeps happening and there are no answers! Especially around christmas...I hope she starts feeling better soon and you guys get some answers! I remember when I was younger my dad kept on having issues with mini-strokes and bells palsy and they found out it was being caused by an infection of some sort and it was an easy fix from there! Fingers crossed for you! Let me know how jumping on hubby works....been trying that here, no joy! If anything its made baby more quiet! SIGH!
Princessa- welcome back! I was just thinking about you yesterday wondering if you had gotten your computer back! How was your visit with your mom? I'm sorry your feeling sick...getting a cold while pregnant is the worst, but especially in the last few weeks! I would want someone to knock me out until I was feeling better if that was the case haha! I am definitely a waddleing ball of a person these days....39+4 and very impatient for baby to come!
Jeni- I hope your appointment goes well today and you get some good answers!!
I'm in bits this morning...my back and hips are in agony! sleeping is so uncomfortable these days...I'm kinda hoping that my back is so sore because something might be starting? I've got some pain and pressure down there as well...I keep saying to baby that today would be a great birthday...12/12/12! I think he is a little too comfortable though!
I bought some pineapples...going to cut those up and go sit on the ball for a while! BTW pineapples are going for a euro in Dunnes right now!! 0 -

My mums visit was fantastic, she gave me a right kick up the bum to get everything sorted. We got the wooden floors sorted, two rooms painted, hospital bag packed, bits and bobs washed, bought mattresses. It was great, loads of ticks on the list. She just said come on we are doing this now - end of story. She will be home again just before christmas and will be staying till after baby is born.
Id love to have the baby by the time she arrives at this stage though, sooooo uncomfortable and the sickness is just making me feel super sorry for myself.
Oh Rachineire, i had some pineapple today too, more for the cold than anything else as nothing worked on my daughter when i went 10 days over. 39+4, you must be well ready to be finished with pregnancy now. Are you all set for the arrival and christmas? 0 -
Hi girls, got laptop back thank god! I went up to see mum last night and she just seems drunk...
very tired looking and almost slurry/drole the way she's speaking! They only test they are waiting on is a culture blood test for insect bites that will take 3 weeks to do. Hopefully they will find something from that. I decided it was time to leave when I could feel the usual braxton hicks starting. I had to stop in to my friends to collect my laptop so had a cuppa there. I sat for an hour and by the time I was going... they were really strong. I don't know how I drove home from there! and I almost couldn't get out of the car and walk into the house with the pain of the bh's. :eek::eek:
Got hubby to fill the bath to see if it would stop them but it didn't.. and at that stage it was like half 12 and I was soo tired. So we went up to bed. Think they were like 4-5 minutes apart! they just started to slow down then and I was so exhausted that I slept.. I do remember getting a couple in the night but only half waking up.. was up and down to the toilet mind you. They pressure is so bad that I couldn't even lift my left leg off the floor to climb up to bed! just rolled back in :eek: anyway, been getting them on and off today too but like an between 45mins to and hour apart and getting longer and not anywhere near as painful as last nights ones.. wonder will it all start again tonight...:o
thank god I have an appt tomorrow at the hospital.... I haven't even gotten dressed today let along be up and about much! Toilet and back to sofa and into kitchen to find something to eat!! :pac::pac:
What will be will be I suppose! am a little nervous that it could be something but excited that it could be too.. have wicked back ache too.. fingers crossed.
Rach - so much for jumping the hubby!! :rolleyes: that parts the annoying part, was looking forward to that :P what with him having been gone for 6 weeks and only getting near him once since he got home cause things happen at nights with me! grrrr.... lol..
How is the form with you all? Anyone think that they might be getting closer to things happening...:):)0 -
