Posterior cervix

Not necessarily. The cervix moves forward in labour. I have a posterior cervix and it took her ages to find to complete the sweep but she said it means nothing in regards to labour x

I was told the same on Wed when I was already 40+6. Went back this morning at 41+1 to try again and they could do the sweep. Things can change and evolve in a few days potentially.

I am hoping the sweep will work otherwise I’m booked in for induction on Sunday 😥.

I had 1st sweep Sunday, and did nothing, had second Tuesday, and cervix was still too posterior, had 3rd sweep today, and have been told baby’s head is low, and can now stretch me to 2cm, so things are progressing. Booked in for induction Monday if nothing happens

I had a sweep done last Friday when I was 40+3 and my cervix was posterior so midwife was unable to do the full sweep. I went for a walk on Sunday afternoon with my mum and went into labour Sunday night! Baby born on Mondah afternoon 😊 I don't think the position of the cervix on one day has an impact on when baby will arrive at all, other than that it probably won't be that day. Things change fast though so don't feel disheartened that they weren't able to do the sweep today!

Don’t give up hope! I went for a sweep and was told I was 1cm dilated but had a very posterior cervix. That night I was in labour by myself and had baby the next day x
