Could be 2 hours, could be 2 weeks. You never can tell.

I don't know what sweeping your cervix is, but it must be part of what is causing the cramping....As for painless and pressure...I had a baby over 9 lbs, and never had pain, only pressure. That was a natural birth too, and FAST!. I noticed a tightening that lasted 1 minute, and happened every 4 minutes. First hospital instructed to stay home, then, since it was my first time, told me to come in to get checked. 2 hours later, I was holding my Son...still no pain. I was scared and eventually thought an elephant could have been sitting on my belly, but no pain, no screams, no panting, and somewhat confusing because I had been so prepared for all the drama. I just want you to know that not every woman experiences the same level or type of pain. For me it was just pressure. Pay more attention to the timing of the cramp or pressure feeling.
Good luck!!

Well I'd say it won't be long! They did that to my daughter and she went right into labor and had the baby 4 hours after leaving the Doctor's office! Good luck!

yes, of course you are going to go into labor!
I know how hard it is once you are that close and you feel so.. full and big you just want it to be over with! Try walking, sex, spicy foods, etc. With sex- make sure you orgasm- that AND the sperm can trigger labor.
Good luck soon-to-be mama!
