Looks like I'll be making my mw appt tomorrow at 40+2 - she mentioned a fortnight ago doing a sweep at this point if I'd not had baby. DH has surgical board meeting in Edinburgh tommorrow - two and half hours travel by train from Aberdeen which is where we stay. My appt is at 3pm - if a sweep is done and is effective roughly how long before things kick in? Dh doesn't need to attend the meeting but don't want him sitting around all day if he could have gone so he's got train booked - just wandering if he would then have time to get home if things started - it's our first and neither of us want him to miss it. Realise not an exact science but if anyone can give us a rough idea?! Thanks
