Had Sweep 39weeks, When might it work?

I am having a sweep and dont actually know the real reason why, I went for an extra scan at 38 weeks because baby was measuring off the chart on belly measurement(46cm) but then when I went for scan they sent me to consultant because baby wasnt in as much fluid as he should have been, but consultant told me he is healthy weight(7lbs 10oz), and he isnt worried about the fluid... but still sent me for a sweep?
Had sweep yesterday and midwife felt babies head, she said she got her middle finger into cervix, and im not feeling anything as of yet? And haven't had a show? I have another sweep booked for 3 days time.

What's your guesses when I'm going to go girls? I'm due 27th nov.Grin

Sweeps did nothing for me. Both my babies were 2 weeks overdue. Might work, but you have no way of knowing

I had a two sweeps with my first did nothing second one I went into labour 3 hours later but I went power walking as soon as I got home. Second baby nothing worked he wouldn't come out turned out his cord was super short so he would never have been able to push onto my cervix enough. Third baby I had been having stop start contractions since 38 weeks so 39 weeks had two seeps two days apart. After the second I was in labour 4 hours later ( again I did lots of walking up hills where I live) I think the advice is after a sweep go for a walk bounce on your ball to try help things along but if they don't work there is normally a reason or your body/ baby is just not quite ready for labour. Good luck! Sending you positive birth vibes xxx
