Dr thought it was fine. So now we wait. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-17#post-2402967 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 11:04:00 +0000 snowjewelz 2402967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd just do it and see what happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-17#post-2402965 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 11:03:13 +0000 kiddosc 2402965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably go ahead and do the sweep. There's no guarantee it will work, just like there's no guarantee you'll feel better next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-17#post-2402891 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:28:19 +0000 travellingbee 2402891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: @youboots: oh sure I know it's no guarantee. It worked with my son but I was already 40w as opposed to 39. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-17#post-2402883 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:25:19 +0000 youboots 2402883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I agree with you, might as well too see what happens but manage your expectations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-17#post-2402878 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:23:03 +0000 Cherrybee 2402878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Id go for it while the help is available. Good luck. :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-17#post-2402877 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:22:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2402877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doing the sweep is no guarantee of labor. So I would try it, see what happens and if you're really ready, maybe you avoid the induction! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-17#post-2402875 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:20:18 +0000 LuLu Mom 2402875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go for it this week, with bronchitis there is no guarantee you will feel better next week, it's usually a lingering sickness! I think the extra help + them giving you fluids will help you feel better in the long run. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-17#post-2402874 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:20:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 2402874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I think I would probably wait. This really sucks being sick! But I also have a pretty difficult baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-17#post-2402870 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:18:21 +0000 travellingbee 2402870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: well I'm sure DH would still take time off to help but he has off this week anyway, and next week he's need to take PTO. We'd have more help this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-17#post-2402849 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:10:00 +0000 Foodnerd81 2402849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will you have any help next week? I had recently recovered from a cold before having G, but then came down with another one after she was born and it sucks being sick on top of dealing with no sleep. I feel like I'm never going to kick this cold because I'm never resting and am so run down as it is. </p> <p>So if you will have any help I think I'd try to wait and get better first. But if it will be just you and the toddler and baby, I'd probably give it a shot and just cross your fingers the sickness goes away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-17#post-2402838 Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:05:24 +0000 travellingbee 2402838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am supposed to have a membrane sweep today at 39+1. Cervix is favorable with baby low. I think there is a decent chance of going into labor. It would be, by all accounts, more convenient to have to the baby this week rather than at my induction next Monday- DH is home this week, as are my parents for childcare for Ds1. Inlaws have flights booked to come here Thursday. We'd get the tax credit for having him before 1/1. BUT, I have bronchitis. No fever and it isn't bacterial. Doctor said my cold just went into my bronchial tubes because I'm run down with pregnancy. (They checked my white blood cells). Would you scrap the sweep today and hope to hold off til you felt better? Knowing it would be less convenient in all other ways? Or just do the sweep and see what happens? </p>
