Stretch and sweep

i had one at 39+5 and went into labour at 40 weeks i went to the hospital around 11:30am got told to get walking about get some food to see if things started moving on there own as i was already having 3 contractions within 10 mins if not they was going to induce me but luckily i had a cervical check done at 3:25pm ish and they broke my waters at 3:30pm and instantly the pains got worse and came more regularly and my baby was born at 8:39pm same day

my midwife said to me if you don’t get any signs if labour within 48 hours of the stretch and sweep it was unsuccessful and to have another done

I wouldn't ever have again, I ended up having latent labour for 48hours (obviously can't prove it was from sweep but a big coincidence if not) They statistically aren't proven to be effective if you aren't close to labour anyway, so if you can just wait it out x

Nope 👎🏻

I had one at 40 weeks and was 1cm then at 40+2 was 2cm ( I lost my mucus plug during these days, waters broke 40+5 so not sure if that helped but was definitely worth a try. Was a little uncomfortable but didn’t hurt and there are a few risks.

I had one at 2:30pm....by 6:15pm my waters broke. I was 39+6 weeks

I had a sweep at 4pm and was in labour by 11pm the same day 40+2 weeks x
