@breathoffreshair that gives me so much more hope! I'm currently feeling like I'm getting nowhere, I think I have lost my mucus plug (looks like snot with a bit of brown sorry for TMI) however I am a FTM so I have never experienced anything like this before xx

They said mine are far back and I've always had an issue in getting checked. When I went in with my last baby they tried to say I was closed and the dr said no wait your at a 3. They had me ball my fist up and put them under my hips. But the further I progress in labor the easier the checks seem to get. At least that's how it been.

Mine won't try again until next Monday when I am 41+2 ! Ideally I would like him out before then

I've had that happen with me with my first. they ended up calling in a different nurse and I was at 3cm

She made me put my hands under my hips also but still couldn't reach it. I've had a few cramps this evening and extremely increased baby movements lol! Hoping this is a good sign, I will try the birthing ball too though xx

My midwife didn't think she could reach it in my last pregnancy, but asked me to put my hands under my bottom and then she was able to find it. Try and do lots of bouncing on the birth ball to get the babys head nice and low too xx
