Has anyone had the sweep I'm so nervous to get it done as my last internal really hurt, what is it like? And has it' worked for anyone? Did it bring your labour on fast? Or that day? So many questions I know sorry I'm just nervous,as it's my first baby so excited for her to finally be here,I'm becoming extremely impatient:( any advise would be appreciated thanks x

I didn't get a sweep in the end,I'm now 9 days overdue and I'm being induced on Sunday morning at 10.30 am I'm so nervous and scared to be induced I'm so worried about it all! But I'm excited to finally have my baby, I hope it's not a very Long labour it's my first baby so I'm really nervous:(

I hope so too. My Dr is letting me go 8 days over and I honestly don't think it wilk come before I am induced. At least I don't have to get pitocin. He will only do the cytotec to get me started since I have bx contractions pretty much all the time. :-) when will your dr induce you? I went 9 days over with my first and went naturally so hopefully your dr gives you time.

My dr does a sweep at every cervical check starting at 38 weeks. It depends on how dilated you are how it feels. I am 40+5 today and will be induced wednesday if I haven't had baby yet. Good luck sweeps have never worked for me. :-(
