Hi ladies,
Just wanted to get your opinion about having a sweep, my midwife said she would do one at my next appointment if I wanted which is on my due date on Wednesday.
I know I could go into labour before then but I don't think it's going to happen.
If I'm honest the only reason I don't want one done is because I've heard they are painful, which I know is ridiculous because I am about to give birth!! But that is the only reason I would opt out. She said she would check how favourable my cervix is before doing it but I don't know whether to just let my body do what it needs to do and wait a bit longer considering it will only be my due date!!
Did anyone have one on their due date and did it work? And how painful are they?
Sorry for the ramble
