ty ladies Yeah was 2 week late with my 4 boys. was hoping be different this time been a girl but nope nothing. she's a right little madam and not even born yet lol. I just don't wanna go over again I'm so miserable xxx

@flick9, I'm 39 weeks tomorrow! My baby was transverse at 37+4 i went back at 38+3 and he'd turned head down on his own, but wasn't Engaged or in my pelvis! I asked my midwife for a sweep on Friday & she said no because I've Gotta wait until i go back to the hosp/consultant this Thursday to 100% make he's head down still and all ready! It sucks but it's best to make sure because if you went into labour with a transverse baby it wouldn't be very good at all!! It's worth asking your midwife incase she confident of how he's laying but mine wouldn't do It!xx

U can try but if baby isn't ready it won't work. Have your others all been late? They may want to wait another 2 weeks if so. Only time a sweep worked for me was when I was in slow labour for 2 weeks on off and I had three done from 37plus but I had pre eclampsia causing me to contract when it was spiking. Last pregnancy I had baby in unstable lie - transverse , breech and back and then head down and so they wouldn't do it as they wanted head low and practically fully engaged
