Okay, so your stories of membrane sweeps would be much appreciated please! I've just had a horrid experience...I was due on Monday and am now 40+4. I had a sweep at 40+2 and the mw said I was nearly 1cm dilated, and my cervix was 2cm long. She couldnt properly sweep though due to the "firm consistency". I still had lots of pink/brown show after though with lots of BHs and a bit of period pain. I went back today for another sweep and nothing had changed! It was another mw and she said my cervix was getting softer round the edges (?) but I wasnt dilated enough for a sweep! So upset!! Has anyone else been told this, then go into labour anyway? Or do you think I'll be waiting a long while for my baby?
ps got another sweep Monday, then induction 'discussion' wednesday..
