Failed for me and they induced me which was more painful and ended up being a c section anyway
Sweeps are a form of induction and as with induction in general it only really works if your body is at a tipping point and needs a nudge (and if there are other factors with you and your baby other forms of induction may be needed of course like pe-eclampsia etc). There are also risks to what is coined a simple procedure. If you're not sure, avoidance and just waiting for nature to do its thing is the best option. Don't add risk where unnecessary. ☺️ I went to 42+3 for spontaneous labour and zero intervention, though hopefully you won't be that long! If you'd like some more information in general I definitely recommend the "Ten Month Mamas UK" Facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1582903528590264/?ref=share I replied to another lady with the same - ultimately, at the end of the day it's your choice, but an informed one is all the more powerful. Hope this helps!
Had a sweep but seemed unsuccessful as my cervix was still really up. The midwife said it might work anyway. Lost the plug that night and baby came next day!
I had mine booked at 40+2 at 4 pm By 11pm, I was in labour, and Jenson was born 3 hours later 🙂 I was already 1cm dilated when I had my sweep and was experiencing cramps during the day
Had 3 , none worked and for me I’d never get one done again
Thank you everyone xx
Just let your body do it’s thing they come when they are ready x
I had two sweeps unsuccessful I had to be induced xx
