Hello - I'm going into hospital for an induction on Wednesday I'll be 39 weeks due to massive baby and previous complicated birth. Just got back from midwife appointment and she performed a sweep - she mentioned I've not started to dilate and my cervix is posterior but she managed to reach it.
I had a bloody show right there in the midwife office which she said was normal.
It's been almost 3 hours and I don't feel anything - starting to get anxious about Wednesday. Will the induction still go ahead? Will they just give me a section?

I was the same. Still posterior and 0-1cm after a sweep. Was told v unfavourable but pains started after about 5 hours and went into labour after about 12 hours and progressed nicely.
Good luck

I was induced at 40+14. Not dilated at all and cervix so high and posterior she couldn't actually reach properly to do a sweep. One pessary at 10am, I was 4cm dilated by 4pm and DS was born 14 hours later.
Good luck Life. Hope it all goes well
