Does anyone have any advice or experience of this.....went for a sweep today at 40+1....midwife couldn’t reach cervix as it was too high and said it was unfavourable. I was supposed to go back for another sweep on Thursday but she said there’s not much point as she couldn’t reach it at all. Im aiming for a VBAC but she encouraged an ELCS instead so called the consultant who will book me in next Monday. Just wondering what my chances are of going naturally within the next 7 days or do I resign myself to another c section??

So much can happen in 24 hours let alone 7 days. Normal gestation is up to 42 weeks aswell so babies probably not ready yet. You've totally got this, just listen to your body x fingers crossed for successful VBAC 🤞

I delivered my little one at 39 weeks after so many bloody sweeps. But it was vbac!! You got this! Stay positive. Lots of walking and bouncing. Ask them also if it's possible that they can break your waters. That's what they did with me as I was determined to have him naturally. Raspberry leaf tea aswell helps the cervix soften xxx
