From my own experience  i suggest  just be patient  i had braxton hicks  sonce i was 7 months my water had never broke on its own until this preg at exactly  38 wks my water broke and baby pooped inside i have no idea why if he was only 38 wks i never did any of those oil eating  things so my water was browsing  and i instantly  knew something  wasnt right went to hospital had him in 3 1/2 hrs was s [ worried  because foc told me they wouldn't  know if he was going to be ok until he comes out thank god i fully  dilated  soo fast and he came out 5 pushes and was ok so its better to be patient and let baby come on its own i have no idea why he pooped  the only thing  i drank was cinnamon  tea but thats natural and walked  alot due to taking care of my other 4 kids

Yeah, just relax, he/she won't stay in there forever lol. As i said in my post a few days on this (Due date is not a deadline): stressing about this might actually be signalling to your body and baby that you are not ready yet for labour, and may cause things to take longer.

Believe you me i understand how anxious you get and just done being preggers but I completely agree with mimilove! I also had a friend that same thing happen! Not worth it! Baby comes when baby's ready. What's a few more days. Bye doing these things you could have a very intense extensive labor as well as put your baby under major stress. I say no thank you I want my bun in the ove' till its completely ready. Sex and walking is all I'll be doing.

Fyi ladies ;) if your body isn't ready no matter what u try it wont work if baby isnt ready it could do him more ha than good. A friend just did the castor oil thing and baby got poo in the inside and was in nic for a 2 weeks. Not worth it. And by trying things i meen like this. Spicy food or sex is more normal th@n trying wierd stuff. Good luck to u all God bless

Membrane sweep is when the doc moves the baby a little and bring the water bag forward to try and get labor started I had my second one done yesterday and I'm due Saturday nothing to work just been having braxton hicks,cramping,and spotting from the sweep
