I am due on Sunday and hoping for a VBAC. My consultant arranged an appointment for me for Wed to discuss induction options if I go over (yes, very eager - I've had to be stubborn to be allowed various "concessions" to try and get the birth I want!).
My friend gave birth at the same hospital 3 weeks ago, under a different consultant and had an appointment 2 days before her due date. She was given a sweep at this appointment and went into natural labour a day later.
So, just so I can be prepared - can anybody more knowledgeable than me give me the pros and cons of having a sweep (in particular for a VBAC, and at this "early" stage) so that I can decide whether to take it up or not if it is offered. I'm obviously keen to go into spontaneous natural labour if at all poss in order to improve my chances of achieving VBAC.
I'm so grateful in advance - how did people ever find out enough info to be informed about birth without sites like this pointing them in the right direction?!
