Yeah that's fine hun @abbylouise it's good to ask questions lol

@leanne2016, oh right I didn't know you was being induced! Yeah makes sense :) x

because my induction day is 2nd July I'll be 39 weeks so they just said they can offer me one to help the process @abbylouise it makes sense coz some one can go 42 weeks with no complications so they'll get a sweep at 40 weeks where as I'm induced 39 weeks so a sweep 2 weeks before x

How come your offered a sweep before your due date? (If you don't mind my asking) My midwife said she'll only do one if I go over 😩 x

awwww thanks ladies x

I wouldn't say it's painful but it is uncomfortable x

@leanne2016 I was 39+1 :) my waters had broken the previous day xx

I found it uncomfortable but not painful. It didn't work for me but it was my first baby and I ended up being induced. If I were to have another baby I would get one again incase it did help bring on labour @leanne2016 xx

It's hard to explain what it feels like. Whilst she was doing it, it felt like quite strong period pains. Each to their own though 😊 you go with what you feel comfortable doing xxx

I'm scared of pain @zoeelaw so I might not do it I'd rather wait till induction 2nd juky

She said it is common to bleed and have a bloody show for a couple of days afterwards. I've got another booked for Monday xxx

Oh shit so is does everyone bleed with it? @zoeelaw @winterbaby95 oh so it can actually be really good when did u have it how many Weeke were u? @winterbaby95

I had one on Monday. Unfortunately it hasn't worked 🙁 she said my cervix was short with it being my first baby so she tried her best. Wasn't that bad just bled quite a bit after so make sure you wear a pad xxx

@leanne2016 I was 1cm already...shot to 8cms within an hour xx

@winterbaby95, thanks for info... did it work at all?

Worse than labour for me...but that's not everyone :) it may be less painful for you since you've had a child before :) not sure xxx
