40 weeks today help.

I lost my plug a few days ago, had ALOT  of bloody show and got my membranes swept today.  Any body know how much longer until labor really kicks in,  having very few minor contractions.

Honestly it's a waiting game at this point. No need to call your Dr because you just saw her to do the sweep. Just do your best to stay active (walk, have sex, jumping jacks, whatever your thing is) and stay as patient as possible. You are almost there!!
