I've had a bit of a time with midwives as I've basically had a lot of stand ins, I'm not sure what was going on with my actual midwife but she was rarely able to actually attend her surgery day. Anyway, she is now gone and I've been assigned a new one who will be doing my aftercare etc so that's all good. 40 week appointment today though I'm 40 weeks on Friday, and she said she couldn't give me a sweep as they don't do them before actual due date here, BUT (and this is when I could have hugged/kissed her) she will come to my house on Saturday and do it so I can have one as soon as possible! I know they are not always successful, but as she said just to know how the cervix is will be so helpful and make me know what kind of wait I'm looking at! I can't tell you how much happier this has made me. God Bless this new midwife! I thought I'd have to wait until she was back at the GP surgery next week!
