2cm dialated

went into town today and when i got off the bus my jeans were really wet, foned my mum and she told me to go home just incase however i wanted to go get measured for my bra so did that first he he he, foned the hosp when i got in and they told me to go in and get checked, put me on the monitor asked all the usual qs bout pain etc, not had any apart from a few braxton hicks over the past couple of days mw said she doubted that i was about to start, checked to see if waters have gona nad they havnt, she then checked my uterus and to both our surprise i am 2cm dialated so she gave me a sweep, she doesnt think i will go over my due date woohoo!, asked her if staying active helped as i have just regrouted my kitchen tiles paint and grained the doors and cleaned the whole lot she said it does help so am gonna paint my mums bathroom tommorow he he he see if i can shift it sooner!!! will be 39wks exactly!!!

    Not sure if 2cm is a sign of things starting soon but I had a sweep on friday 3 weeks ago and I really expected things to start. I was 2cm at the same time and 8 days overdue. No signs 24 hours later but I stayed really active. I woke to period type cramps on sunday morning and by early hours of monday morning I was in delivery room.

    Hope this is the start of things for you. Keep us informed.

    Just a hint - don't overdo things. You'll need as much energy as you can get.

    I was the same with my two, i was having braxton hicks 2 days before i went into labour they were quite intense and i kept passing clear like jelly discharge (sorry if to much info). anyway went for my check and they examined me and i was 3cm and in labour they did a sweep to kick start and then broke my waters (36wks+4days). hope things kick off soon, goodluck XXX
