Is it true that there is no point having a sweep unless you are fully engaged and your cervix is nice and soft? Can the midwife check these things before going ahead with the sweep or is there nothing to be lost by doing the sweep at the same time as the internal? I just get the impression that midwives just forge ahead and do these things when they are not really necessary. I am due to have one next tuesday when I will be 41 weeks.
