Hi, I'm 41weeeks today and have a mw appointment tommorrow. She's said I'll be offered a sweep and i'e expressed a little hesitation but she's said GbS is not a problem and that she'll be able to tell if my waters are strong enough to take it without breaking before she does the stretch/sweep.
GBS website is a Bit vague tbh - there is no evidence to say it can be risky, no evidence of any negative outcomes etc etc BUT that in THEORY it could introduce infection to uterus and therefore sensible to avoid.
Has anyone been in this situation? I'm desperate to get this baby out and desperate to avoid induction.... But obviously want the baby to stay safe.
What would you do?
