Wondering if things have changed over the last 4/5 years?

Seems everyone having sweeps before due date an I don't understand why?

Last time round I had one when I was 5 days overdue.

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

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

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

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"

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

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.

Sorry, read your comment properly now!

How long after your sweep did things kick in?

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