Sweep !

[courtx03]

How affective was the sweep for yous ? Had a sweep yesterday around 11am and I just don't feel any different just been feeling really sick ! did the sweep work for you, if so how long did it take , I'm 40+5 and so fed up now

Also was told I was 1cm dilated and cervix was really thin ...

I was 1cm when I had mine done and I went into labour 3days after

I was 2cms at mine on the Friday, labour started on saturday night but stopped again early sunday morning. Restarted Monday afternoon and DS was born early Tuesday morning! Hang in there OP it’ll be over soon!

Had sweep at 37+5 with DS1. Waters broke 1 hour later and he arrived 4 hours after that.

That being said apparently I was already 4cms dilated without knowing so the sweep just moved things along.

DS2 arrived 2 days after sweep at 38 weeks.

I had a sweep at 40 weeks cervix was still high but reachable another sweep at 41 weeks 3cm dilated but my stubborn child needed an induction and arrived at 42 weeks.

Sweep does not work for me!

I had a sweep at 3cm dilated on the Saturday morning and by the wednesday night labour still hadnt started so had my waters broken

I was due on the Sunday 30th august 2015, I was booked in for a sweep originally on the Wednesday, but I started having contractions on the Tuesday so I decided to see if things would progress naturally. They didn't so I ended up having a sweep at 3pm on the Friday (40+5).
I got to the hospital at 9 that evening, was in the birth centre by 10.30, had my waters broken around 2am, then gave birth at 6.58am the Saturday morning (40+6).
It didn't hurt or feel uncomfortable at all and it did help move things along (the head wasn't fully engaged so things wouldn't have progressed on their own).
