Positive sweep stories

[LisaLx]

Just had a sweep today. I'm already 3cm dilated. Anyone else the same? Or does anyone else have any stories to tell me? How long did it take? Did it actually work?

Still nothing what about you?

Same just stressing about tomorrow now

Good luck for tomorrow @THATbasicSNOWFLAKE, let us know how you get on!

Sending you both oxytocin vibes xxx

Was 2 weeks overdue. Had a sweep in the morning with my 2nd. Less than 24hrs later I'd given birth on the toilet!
I think I would have been close to giving birth anyway, but I feel it did give it a push, so to speak!

I was cramping then it just kicked in. Labour was about 1.5 hrs.

Wednesday for my next one. It feels so long away

Baby boy born just after midnight 💙 fairly long labour, no induction just broken waters followed by long wait to get past 4cm

Any news @LisaLx?

Congratulations to you still nothing here .

Was your baby engaged fully to break your waters? And did your contractions start naturally?

Not engaged at all

Contractions started on their own

@THATbasicSNOWFLAKE

Not engaged at all

Contractions started on their own

Mine is the same not fully engaged the last check they said 4/5 but could break my waters if needed. Your labour has defiantly given me some hope.

Are you doing ok?

@LisaLx if your labour is going on "normally" and you are having strong regular contractions don't let them break waters.

I was at the hospital waiting for a room for days and when labour started on its own and going well they STILL broke my waters. Well my contractions went from very nice very regular very normal to nonstop! It was horrible! Baby's heartrate went down and the crash team had to be called. Luckily as soon as they put me on stirrups I had a huge urge to push and baby was out!

Btw I had my waters broke before for DC2 but I wasn't "in labour". It started afterwards and it went great!! It took about 5hours after the waters were broken (better than the 2 days with pessary with DC1....)

I'm having no contractions at all just sitting here between 3-4 cm. I started dilating 2 and a half weeks ago contractions come and go but nothing regular. Hopefully not much longer now

Yeah I know that very well..... good luck!!

Aw congratulations @THATbasicSNOWFLAKE hope you are both well x

@LisaLx good luck for tomorrow's sweep. How many weeks are you?

Just came across this post so thought I'd join, have a sweep tomorrow
Congrats @THATbasicSNOWFLAKE !! X

@BurningBenches

Aw congratulations *@THATbasicSNOWFLAKE* hope you are both well x

@LisaLx good luck for tomorrow's sweep. How many weeks are you?

I'm 40 weeks and 4 days. Been having some cramp this morning but not building my hopes up. Have my midwife this afternoon for my 3rd sweep. I'm hoping it works

Does anyone know if they will still give a sweep if your having cramps ?

@LisaLx how are you getting on?

@LisaLx

Does anyone know if they will still give a sweep if your having cramps ?

Check my previous reply. They definitely do. But if you are in proper labour just tell them to ...... off

My baby boy arrived last night. The sweep was successful and ended up in hospital 30 minutes later. Good luck to everyone else still waiting

Congratulations!!!!

Wishing you and your baby all the very best!!!
