Sweep

I am 39 weeks+4 days. Had the sweep today. She said my cervix is soft and she could feel top of baby's head.  Has anyone gone into labour before shortly after having this done?......

I have had 4 stretch and sweeps this pregnancy and still no sign of baby :( my last being yesterday.
I have also walked 7kms after every S&S and nothing.
Bub will come when Bub is ready or when they induce me. I've given up on getting my hopes up. Dr's have tried acupressure along with the stretch and sweep and long walks. Booked in for induction as my body is just not cooperating. I have had pre labour for 2 and a half weeks with constant contractions everyday. Lost my mucus plug 2 weeks ago, dilated with soft thin cervix, head engaged and nothing. I'm past my due date also :(

I had a sweep done at 40w2d and went into labor that night. I had strong contractions right after but they died down later that evening and picked up again around 11pm. I gave birth to my son the next morning. Good luck!
