Midwife did a sweep last night without asking

Hi all, I’m just after some advice. I went to the maternity unit last night with bad contractions (am 39 weeks) which had been building over the past few days to every 3.5 mins.
When the midwife was checking to see how dilated I was, it was really painful, like trying to get away painful, and I could really feel her moving around.
When she finished she said ‘I’ve done you a sweep too...’
is this out of order as I didn’t ask or want one?

@Katnisnevergreen congratulations on your new born. Please do make a complaint and have a debrief. It's completely unacceptable.

Congratulations on your newborn!

Can I HIGHLY recommend the positive birth company if you plan any more children. I had a horribly traumatic first birth and I’m now 36 weeks pregnant, the positive birth company have a hypnobirthing course online which has explained so much of birth that I didn’t even understand and I wish I’d known about it before I had my first.
