Had sweep this morning
Hi everyone,
Just looking for abit of advice and reassurance.
I am 40 +5 and had my sweep this morning, mw assured me it wouldn't be painful if anything just uncomfortable unfortunately it was extremely painful - god knows how i am going to manage labour if i cant manage a sweep lol. Anyway mw said reason it was so painful was cos my cervix is still quite far back but she was hopeful the sweep would work & if it doesn't then I am booked in to be induced next Saturday. Only thing is next Saturday I will be 12 days overdue and I am quite concerned that this is a long time to be overdue, most people i know that either gone themselves by then or been induced quite a bit before getting to 12 days overdue, I'm just worried that being so long overdue something will go wrong with my baby and if i end up having a long labour then it could be well over the 12 days ?, Sorry to rant just wanted to tell someone else about my concerns, tried talkint to oh but as he says mw will know better so I shouldn't worry but I can't help thinking that the sweep isn't going to work and I'm still going to be pregnant this time next week x

I'm sure your baby will be fine - it your m/w was worried then they would induce you earlier.... I can understand why you want the baby sooner rather than later - I've got just under 7wks to go and I'm already wishing the time away!!...
Take care and hopefully things will start to happen for you v soon.

Good luck
