Is having the sweep painful ?

it is a little painful like a smear test, but over quite quickly. Just squeeze someone's hand 😄

Very uncomfortable but it over with in no time xx

Just uncomfortable.. like a nasty ache xx

It’s not pain as such. But ya definitely something I wouldn’t want to do for the fun of it x

More uncomfortable than painful xx @lauramorg

I had one at hospital, I told the midwife to “go for it” and she did..,it was painful to be honest. It started off uncomfortable, but it depends how much you can tolerate as to how well they can do it if that makes sense x

They wouldn't give you a sweep with your second unless you're over due especially if you went into labour naturally last time but that's just my area, there's no harm in asking she might be nice and do it for you xx

@gabilicious, I see my midwife two days before my due date, if I request a sweep that day will she do it ? this is my second baby xx

Not really just really uncomfortable xx
