My midwife is giving me a sweep tomorrow at 38 weeks as the baby (according to scan today) is already over 9 lbs. Has anyone had one before they've gone overdue and has it actually worked? Also what should I expect - how will I feel if it's working (first baby and clueless), does it make you bleed? It sounds awful! She said that if my cervix is not quite ready she'll still put her finger up as far as it goes - ouch?
