The waiting game!!

Went for my 40 week scan on the 4th and the midwife performed a sweep, she says I'm 1-2cm dilated already and she was 90% sure I'd have the baby by the weekend. Just after the sweep I had bad back pain and terrible period pain and I was really happy it might be the start of something. However, since Wednesday I haven't felt any more pains anywhere and it's got me really fed up :/ it's nearly the weekend and I don't have any signs!!! image This afternoon as I was stood up the bottom of my belly felt quite flabby and droopy is this normal because I'm getting myself worked up now?
