How long did labour take after a sweep?

Had a sweep with no 2 and labour took 1.5 hrs, almost didn't make it to hospital - it was too quick!

I am now considering a sweep again with no 3 but don't want to have such a quick labour again if possible.

Are labours after sweeps always quick and fast? How was yours?

About a week with no 1.
About a week (with the aid of pessaries, having waters broken and a drip) for no 2.
