Sweep

Hey all, I was just wondering how much can your midwife stretch you in a stretch and sweep in already 2cm dilated and baby is low down and I have a stretch and sweep tomorrow I'm wondering if this will send me into Labour?

There is a transcript if you don’t want the audio. But good info on sweeps and inducing labour.

I personally declined all vaginal exams and therefore sweeps. But it’s your body so your choice.

With DD1 I was 2-3cm.on my due date sweep and she was able to stretch to 4cm, I went into labour five days later
