MW attempted sweep today (40+11 days)but said my cervix was high and posterior and obstructed by baby's head (3/5 engaged) - not really clear what any of this means. Booked to be induced on Thursday (40+13 days) but am really concerned that if my cervix is high I won't be ready and it will end with a lot of intervention and c-section. This my second baby, first went to 40+6 and was short labour and all good. Very worried that its all so complicated and not straightforward this time - I thought 2nd births were meant to be easier? Has anyone been through this - hoping Drs won't proceed if cervix is not ripe - but do they check? Any thoughts gratefully received...
