Hi ladies, 3 days past due date and midwife attempted a sweep yesterday but couldn't do one as I am not dilated and cervix is still closed and hard. Has anyone els had this but still gone into labour naturally not long after? Im booked in for an induction a week on Sunday but really would like my boy before then as I've been told all along he's fairly big on every growth scan, over 7lb at 36 weeks the last one was. I understand they can be inaccurate but am still worrying. I know he will come when he's ready but it is quite frustrating when u just want to hold your baby and nothing is happening lol x

I had this a couple of days before I went into labour with my third. Things can happen very quickly. Don't lose heart.

Really!! That's definitely reassuring, thankyou :)

Yes, I went into labour naturally at 41+3 with my first. Two days before induction was booked.

I had this 24 hours before I went into labour. Don't read too much into it.

I had this 2 days before I went into labour. Don't fret as others have said. It was all very quick. My ds wasn't even engaged until I went into labour.
