sick of slow labour

I am 40 weeks and 2 days...been having BH for weeks. Had a sweep Wednesday and since then been losing more mucous plug and having twinges here and there but nothing else. Was induced with my daughter 10 years ago and really dont want that sudden intense pain again. I am so bored of laying around waiting.  Whenever I walk I feel like im gonna wet myself. .anyone else been or gone through this??

If you lost your mucous plug they should induce you to jump start things bc.of.risk.of.infection . that's what they did to me at 41 weeks.

I am also 40 w and 2d. I havent had a sweep but i was contracting yesterday and they got pretty bad but then of course stopped after a couple hours. I really havent had any today....im so discouraged!!!!!!!!!!! My o.b. said she would be very suprised if he wasnt here by monday so we'll see lol as far as walking goes it hurts soooo bad to walk, my vagina feels like its going to fall off and my butt is absolutely killing me lol Goodluck to you though!!!!!!! We'll both make it through ( hopefully much sooner than later) :) :) :)
