had a sweep at 11 this morning and had a very dark brown show at about 3 ish and still bleeding a bit now, baby is engaged 3/5 (at last!) and mw gave me a sheet with my 'bishops score' its 5, is this good?

dilation is 1-2
consistency is Medium
length of cervix is 1-2
position of cervix is Middle
station is -3

is there anyone out there that can tell me what this means or if you had a similar score and how long after your sweep you went into labour (if at all)?

Thanks

Cx

when i was overdue with ds i had a sweep at about lunch time was 1 cm dilated and my cervix was not ready for labour, the midwife booked me in for induction, 12 hours later after an hour and a half labour i was holding ds

bishops score is a score out of 10 based on your cervix. the closer to 10 the better your chances. I was 8 when i had my sweep and had ds3 the next day
