I'm 40+4 and due to see the midwife tomorrow. She will offer me a sweep again (I declined on due date) and I'm in 2 minds for a couple of reasons.
When I had a sweep with DS1 at 40+3 it was the start of a very painful 4 day slow labour which may or may not have been caused by the sweep. I'm scared of this happening again.
Plus, it's DS1's birthday in 2 days and I'd rather not be in labour then if possible!
If still no signs I'd be induced at 40+12. Would you wait for this or have the sweep?
TIA
