I'm currently 38 +2 with my first, at my midwife appointment today baby was head down but not engaged. I asked what would happen with helping things getting moving ie when will I have a sweep? With baby not dropping i feel like I'll be going over so wanted to discuss option as would like to avoid a full induction (I'm bouncing away on my ball to try encurage baby down) The midwife said she doesn't do sweeps as she doesn't like them. So she will see me again at 40 +3 and at that point book me in for an induction at 41+1, she won't do a sweep even if baby has engaged by then. I asked her what she ment by induction and she said they may start with a sweep but it would be a go in and stay in till baby arrives. Is this normal? Any advice or experience would be appreciated.
