I really hope so waters havent gone or no contractions as yet but midwife did say they give 48 hours for the sweep to work. Did anyone go into labour after having a show?

I lost my mucous plug on a monday, had the sweep on friday on my due date and then I went into labour 7pm the same night. Sounds like labour is on its way, phone your dr/midwife to let them know
