8 on the bishop scale, will the sweep work??

[becks130]

Hi All,

Had a sweep done today at 37 weeks (due to medical reasons) and midwife said that it was VERY favourable, she could feel the babys head and could even break my waters if she wanted! she then said that i was 2-3 cm dilated and have been having tightenings all day, what is the likelyhood of me having this baby soon?? This is my 3rd but all others were induced.

Thanks

That's a favourable score so keep active as can so hopefully you will meet baby soon x
