soon?

So, I have 10 days til my due date.. he said I was 2 cm dilated and I was "getting there", for my cervix thining (he didn't give me a number).. he also asked if I was ready and I said yes, so he said he may have "got the ball rolling".. came home and also had sex with my boyfriend to try and keep it going lmao. Should this all garuntee labour soon? Or does it even matter ?

my sister had good results after the memrbane sweep... fingers crossed :)

im pretty sure thats what he did today... he did an internal, then said he was going to do something to help me along lmao. so im assuming that's stripping my membranes...
ive been having severe back cramping the last 2 hours :( lol.
and lots of pressure / contractions..
so maybe it did help.. i duno  lol.
first baby, and i dont wana go into the hospital thinking im in labour when im not... so im waiting til its really unbearable... lol

No, it will not guarantee labor but "might" speed things along.

So maybe next appointment he may strip your membranes then(if he didnt already?)... they say that it will happen when it happens regardless of what you do... i know i walked a lot at the end, had sex, drove through the pasture checking cattle a lot and that was SO F N  bumpy it was aweful and i had no result but everyone is different and maybe certain things affect each differently but there isnt any actually answer to what to do to get labour going... i would take it easy, get your rest, and go on a date or pamper yourself in some way...so one last hurrah before this little cutie joins you :)
