Cervix check

She wouldn’t check mine at my 38 week appointment but I’m seeing her tomorrow (39 weeks) and have asked for a sweep just to check things out and see what’s happening

Exactly the same as @Lorraine Wouldn’t check even though I’m 39weeks on Wednesday (2days time) - have a sweep booked in Thursday, been having contractions on/ off since last week x

I have my appt tomorrow at 38+4 and have asked my midwife previously to do a sweep then to which she agreed, so hopefully she will 🤞

So they won’t check a cervix but will do a sweep 🤔 think I’ll ask for a sweep then and then I’ll know if I’m progressing or not x

Well, I think the two go hand in hand, don’t they? The sweep is of the cervix so they’ll have to go via it

Yeah had my sweep this morning she will check if your cervix is open enough etc to do the sweep so either way you will know

@Lorraine how was your experience with the sweep and how are you feeling now? I have 3 hours till mine and I’m downing raspberry tea, pumping and eating pineapple 😅

@Liza sweep was fine not painful more an uncomfortable pain if you get what I mean. I was 1cm but she managed to open to 2cm when I moved. It’s best to be up and moving after but I’m uncomfortable and look like I’ve pooped myself walking and it’s hurting but I’ve been having pains and tightness when walking for quite some time now. I’ve my last growth scan tomorrow and booked in for another sweep Friday if nothing happens before then. Xx

Just had my sweep - wasn’t uncomfortable at all. She could feel baby head and cervix is soft currently at 2cm 🤞🏼 bit of bleeding which is normal having some cramping now so the wait continues! Have opted to not have another one on Christmas Eve and just leave it all down to little man now if he wants to come before Christmas he will if not will re assess on 27th ( due date 25th Dec) xx
