A friend of mine had a sweep today as induction threatened on Monday BUT her cervix wasn't softened and was too high up to do a proper sweep. She's 41 and has been convinced by the medical teacm that she should really be unduced at 1 week overdue and I was wondering what the chances of her going in to labour naturally before then are. I've already given my pennies worth about delaying induction and I'm convinced that baby just isn't ready to come out yet but it is her decision and if in the awful even that anything went wrong, I wouldn't want to be responsible in any way and neither does she. She's fully aware of the likely consequences of being induced 'too early'.
