Any idea that actually work on how to get labour to start !!! Would be much appreciated.

Your only 36 weeks so I wouldn't advise doing anything yet x

@carlybeanw, 37 and I just want to get things going ?

@paigekelly oh it says 36 weeks by your name. Honestly, there isn't anything that actually works. You could try pinapple, lots of walking, hot curries but you most likely just tired you out & leave you with a bad tummy. Sex is he only thing that has been proven to work. Otherwise it's just a waiting game. I know it's frustrating & your probably achy, in pain & wanting it to be over but once its over its over so enjoy the last few weeks. You could ask for a sweep at your next appointment though x

@carlybeanw, how many weeks do u have to be for a sweep??

@paigekelly it depends. I was 36+4 when I was offered one ( for medical reasons ) some midwives want to wait until you are 40 weeks, some will do it before. You can always ask, if they think there is a good reason they will might do it. x

You need to be 38 weeks for a sweep hun or they won't give you one. I've had 3 sweeps already and none have worked. I've also tried every way possible of going into labour as they want my little man here before 40 weeks as he's on the small side but literally nothing has worked so far. I honestly think you just have to wait until your body is ready for it. It's frustrating but just the way it goes 😊x
