What do people make of sweeps? I'm having one at 38 weeks and I'm quite nervous about it not working. I've read that…

my first sweep didn't work, she said my cervix was to far to the back so I had to go back a week later because my baby boy still hadn't arrived and luckily she managed to do it and he arrived 2 days later! they are quite uncomfortable but it's soon over and done with ☺ x

@shivryan, thanks! I really do hope it works, can't wait to see the beautiful face of my daughter for the first time 😍

Thanks for the replies! I hope it works for you @firsttimemum! Xxx

I had my very first sweep today! I'm 39+4 and I was more worried about having someone look down there 😂 I didn't find it painful at all, just a little uncomfortable when she moved around baby's head :) x

I had multiple sweeps with my first born and they made me a bit crampy for a wee while after but nothing happened for me unfortunately. I have heard it working for others though. x

I've tried to have 2 sweeps with my previous pregnancies but the midwife couldn't do them, something about my cervix being to high? I don't know lol xx

it is a bit uncomfortable..but I didn't care at the time as I wanted her out xx

A little uncomfortable but not painful hun. Definitely helped me along second time round but with my first pregnancy I had 3 sweeps and still had to be induced. All depends on if the baba is ready. xx
