Is it safe to have a sweep with GBS? Is a sweep likely to break your waters?

sweep can break your waters....depending on how dilated you are and how favourable the cervix....and how heavy handed the person sweeping is!! tiny chance...but a chance...i'm sure your midwife/ obs will guide you.

do you mean that if your waters break you will therefore be whisked in for induction & IV drip?
