Experience of when labour began after sweep 2cm dilated

[confuddeledconfuddel]

I had 2 sweeps this week, one on Wed and I was 1-2 cm dilated and one today and I was 2cm dilated.
I don't feel this baby is for moving anytime soon. Does 2cm dilated mean anything? I was induced at 38 weeks in last pregnancy and currently 38+4. Having sweeps for big baby to try and bring labour on to avoid baby getting to big.
My gut is telling me the baby has no intention of coming anytime soon

I'm going to be you in exactly 4 weeks time.

I will be 38+4, getting a sweep and booking an induction.
I don't know what the answer is I'm afraid.
In the past, sweeps have never worked for me.

An early sweep at 39 weeks with my second gave me irregular contractions but I needed a pessasry to get going properly.
My consultant loves sweeps and says they are effective, so I’m hoping for DC3 sweeps will do the trick instead of an induction.

For what it’s worth - I was told by my midwife that your cervix for second time mothers never fully closes after birth. So you always start off a bit further on the first time Mums. Maybe this is why you are already dilated a bit - I was exactly the same with my second.
Time to start bouncing on your ball, lots of long walks and pineapple. Every little helps 🤷‍♀️ Good Luck!

Update: baby girl born at 6am this morning. 

Goodluck @ThatOneHurt I hope it works for you as well

@UntilTheVeryEnd best of luck with your 3rd. Hope sweep works. The second one did for me

Congratulations!

Congratulations OP - amazing news!
