Bishops score of 3

[Jomum2020]

I have just seen my mw for an attempted sweep, she has booked me in for induction next week and I was given a bishops score of 3. She couldn’t even really do the sweep as my cervix was high and 1cm. She did say it was soft. Baby is only 4/5 engaged. I am 40+3.
Any positive stories of labour? I have read even with induction a score this low means you are unlikely to labour successfully.
This is my second DC. Never laboured with DS1 as I had a planned section at 36 weeks.

No personal story - just wanted to say that’s a sort of standard starting point for induction, so don’t worry about that side - it won’t have any bearing on whether an induction is successful or not (may just affect how long an induction takes!)
Things can change very quickly so don’t lose hope :)

With my 4th at 42 weeks 6 hours post induction and having had contractions my
bishops score was still one 🤬 another pessary and a delivered 4 hours later after an official labour of 1 minute.

Oh wow @RandomMess that’s quite the transformation!
Thanks for the replies ladies, gives me some hope! X

Also if it's not your first you have a Bishops Score of 1 before you even get pregnant. I was not impressed that after 6 hours of pain I hadn't progressed at all 🙄 tbf all my inductions were much the same 😂
