Anyone had a sweep at 36 weeks with any success? Any other tips for early natural labour?

I'm T1 diabetic and the baby is getting too big and there's a risk of shoulder dystocia.

I was induced with my last baby at 37 weeks but the OB has recommended sweeps from 36 weeks to get things moving.

I'd love if things could happen naturally...

After your sweep, have sex (including orgasm)

Oh God! Nooooooooooooooo!

I ate this and it brought on baby at 37+2, v swift four hour labour

LOL! yes .... it's your best chance.

I had a (rough) sweep at 36+5 and no joy unfortunately, ended up being induced a week later. :(

I have heard that sex with orgasm as mentioned up thread does work well though. :)

meringue ... you were lucky, obviously ready for labour, it's a myth that certain foods bring on labour.
