Wondering if things have changed over the last 4/5 years? Seems everyone having sweeps before due…

They didn't even offer me one until I was 40+6 and I had my little girl 3 weeks ago 😂

Not very helpful then 😂

Sorry, read your comment properly now!

How long after your sweep did things kick in?

Sweeps aren't routinely offered before term but are used at discretion by docs and midwifed for various reasons. Sometimes to get a slow labour moving or sometimes to avoid an induction. I've had them at 37 w to avoid an induction for pre eclampsia forming.

Mine I had three and waters broke 10 days after the first one @mummya

Thank you @suzie80. Reason I ask is that I would like one before due date this time round as baby is bigger than last time ( she weighed 9lb 2 at birth) and I already feel "full up"

I got one yesterday due to reduced movements

All u can do is ask I guess. It won't work of baby isn't ready anyway. No harm

I had one because my waters had broken (I was 39-39+1)

I was booked in for a sweep at 41 weeks as they leave you to go over a week but I had my little girl at 40+5 😃 xx
