I am desperate to go into labour naturally and at 40 weeks + 1 day I know there is still a good chance this could happen. The idea of being induced frightens me and since my mum was induced with me (I was nearly 3 weeks late)and my brother and my Grandma was induced with my Mum I was wondering if the inability to go into labour naturally can run in families?
I'm due to have a sweep next tuesday. Is it true that sweeps only work if the head is completely engaged? I'm only 3/5s engaged at the mo. To be honest I really don't feel my baby is ready to come out yet and I don't feel particularly uncomfortable just anxious at the possibiltiy of induction and a pointless sweep!
