:)
Thank you ladies,again this is my 3rd and the only one ive made any progress before 40 weeks, so im completely satisfied with my doctors decision to do a sweep seeing how he could completely feel babys head.
awwww congrats:)
ooooo brilliant news!!! hopefully u see your baby soon.. i wouldnt have said no to having my sweep at 37 weeks.. i didnt have him til 42 weeks.. he weighed 8lb 15.5oz!! x
Thank you ladies for supporting me and my doctors decision even though its my decision just having support and not being put down bc of it means alot. Im happy to say i had my sweep at 1130 today and im having contractions at 7 mins apart now...so im walking and getting everything in gear...
Who are u too judge the opinion of her doctor.. last i checked your not a doctor and seeking medical advice from your doctor..smh If her doctor wants to do a sweep on her at 37 weeks thats between her and doctor.. If giving the chance to have a sweep at 37 weeks from your doctor some of yall who doctor won't induce till 40 or over wouldn't think twice.lmao Again to all who has something to say i had my son at 36 weeks 2 days and he was 6 lbs 4 ozs and 21 inches long with no nicu stay and sucking fine. My son is now 2 months and weighing just over 12 lbs and fine as can be.. hahaha thought i'll share..pow:)
Your dr knows best. Remember he would be inducig you if otherwise. A drs main priority is to get baby out safe, plently of women get induced early. Good luck :-)
Plus I went into preterm at 32 weeks which they stopped and i had steroids.. then since then I have had contractions on and off to the point we thought bubs was coming.. then they stopped.
If its gonna happen, why are you speeding it up? Lol... and actually Dr shouldn't be inducing until your passed your due date unless your baby or you are at risk of complications like death! So I wouldn't trust your doc if he's inducing you because he thinks your ready.that's not really up to him.. its up to your body. I know every one wants there baby as soon as possible so your gonna go along with the doctor if he's like oh yip lets induce you just because we can. And clearly, no offence, but if your bodies ready then why are you not in labor?
Same with me. I love my dr! I hope he never moves away.
Congrats on your little one too. Your baby will be in your arms before you know it.

I totally agree Khawkins. This is my second baby with this doctor and i wished i had of had him w my first. Congrats by the way.
I also just had my third baby at 37 weeks and he is perfectly healthy. My whole pregnancy the dr told me I wouldn't make it to my due date, and I didn't. He even broke my water for me. If you can't trust your dr, who can you trust??
No offense febmama but my body is clearly ready and my doctor even agrees,he didn't think.i.would even make it through the weekend. Im a single now to three with this baby and i have to support my kids,so if the doctor thinks im ready and my.body is showing signs im ready then he is fine with trying a sweep. Already been to l&d twice in a week and a half due to contractions,they havent been close enough to keep me yet. Everyones body is different everyones doctor is different.
my midwife didnt do sweep til i was 41 weeks it failed and had induction at 42 weeks.. good luck ladys x
At 37 weeks they have only JUST learned how their sucking reflex.. why can't you just let your body do what it does.. I know about the pain to it's not nice! I'm disabled some days, I really mean that.Full term does not mean ready baby! I'm 40 weeks now and I'm glad no ones been messing with my cervix. Your baby can actually be up to 2 weeks of development wise at full term.
At 37 weeks you are full term and bc i have been in so much pain since 15 weeks and ive slready dilated which i never did with my first two he said he would try it,if it doesn't work im still being induced at 39 weeks.
can I ask why so early? You still have 3 weeks.. my Midwife wont even condsider any induction until I'm 10 days over.
Does it hurt.... Sorry ftm...new to this getting stretched and sacks detached stuff..:)
That sounds terrible O_o
yes u should danielle.. hopefully second time lucky x
Sorry phone Anyways from the bottom of your uterus. This irritates your uterus and can cause labor contractions. I've had it done. It's like having a rough cervixcal check not painful just uncomfortable :)
A sweep is where te doctor checks your cervix an if its open enough try can use a finger to detach the bag of waters from the bottom
Ladies what exactly is a sweep? Like whatdo they do?
Im hoping only takes one for me...good luck i hope you can get another one.
