Due to SPD my midwife has suggested a stretch and sweep. She says we'll discuss it at my next appointment (36 weeks) so I guess if we go ahead I'll be around 37/38 weeks.
It's my first baby and having just read up on what this procedure is and it's low success rate I'm wondering if there is much point in it? Or if there's anything I can do to increase the success rate, ie. old wives tales of certain foods etc? My SPD is pretty bad so sex is pretty much out the question, I'm actually swollen over my pelvic bone. 😑
Also looking to ask of anyone's experiences? I've heard it's dreadfully painful which could be all for nothing !
