Second baby, had a sweep today and not sure if it will work but wondering if anyone has any similar experiences?

Cervix right at the back, but she managed to sweep it, which I felt but it didn't hurt at all! I am 1cm dilated apparently and cervix is thick showing signs of thinning. I did have to tell her to stop because it was uncomfortable at the entrance and i thought I was going to bleed or split, so she may have tried to sweep it more than once but I had to tell her to stop.

The last sweep I had which worked wasn't pleasant, it felt like an intense period cramp as she swept cervix and 6 hours later I went into labor. Will this one work if it didn't hurt my cervix?

Mine was so painful but it worked about 36 hours later. I've got one today at 38 weeks
