At 38 weeks I had a sweep. It did absolutely no good, I didn't even dialate anymore. I'm 40 weeks and still absolutely no progress. If your body and baby are not ready it won't work.

I went to the doctor yesterday and was 38+6 and my doctor wouldn't do it. he instead did what he called a stretch which apparently isn't the same thing

I remember with my last baby I asked at 38weeks and he said no, they can't do anything to induce labor before 39weeks but  maybe other drs would say yes. Wouldn't hurt to ask.
