Failed sweep at 40+3

Was booked in for a sweep this morning but midwife was unable to do it. Said she could feel babies head, cervix was starting to thin but very far back and completely closed.

Booked for another sweep for a week from today then induction 3 days later. Really hoping not to be induced and I know it’s 10 days but I just feel disheartened after that appointment like labour is unlikely to happen without needing an induction and midwife kind of sounded that way too.

Suppose I’m just looking to see if anyone had a failed sweep and later went into labour or even those who didn’t have a sweep when did you go into labour with your first?

@SilentAlarm I don’t think I could manage sex. So big and uncomfortable 😂. I’ve been a big walk with the dog but then I needed a nap, bouncing away on the ball now but had no other signs. I’m not hopeful but glad she was at least able to give it a go.

@Inthesky42 good luck! When are you due?

Our boy is here, born via csection on the 20th, managing to just avoid induction

My boy is here too! Ended up being induced at 40+11 but ended in EMCS as baby didn't tolerate the contractions. Totally different birth experience to what I'd planned but so happy to have him here
