Hi, im 40 weeks pregnant today and iv had a membrane sweep at midwife, it was very painfull with immidiete stomach ache, the midwife said i was 1cm dilated and my cerviz was flat and thin, but she said i could still go to monday when im due to be induced, iv had sex 3 hours after this and im woundering if it was ok for my partner to come inside me, im having a lot of movement from the baby and sharp twinges, do you think labour will progress quickely or go on till monday?? any tips anyone please and anything to look out for?? iv had no loss and havnt got stomah cramp
thanks for all help xxx
 
nobody can really give you a specific answer. the sex is fine and is actually encouraged because the semen will thin the cervix which will help it to dilate more. As long as your water hasn't broken you can keep going at it. the worst thing it is going to do is do nothing and the best is that it may put you into labor with timeable contractions. I got the gel inserted the day before i was due to be induced and it kickstarted labor. ask if you can get the gel the night before you are induced. worked great for me. and if it doesn't start labor then it will at least help your cervix dilate more for the following day

good luck!! it's worth everything once you see your precious baby!
