Stretch and sweep

So I have low papp-a so there was talk of induction at 39 weeks but baby is growing okay and nothing has been said. Also talk of stretch and sweeps from 38 weeks.. I have an appointment tomorrow, I'll be 37+5 do you think I'll be offered a stretch and sweep?

No harm in asking :)

You can also ask. You do not have to be wait to be offered.

I'm going to ask but was wondering if anyone had asked and was allowed or offered? 3rd baby if that makes a difference x

@Sîan I asked at my 36 week appointment if I will get a sweep at 38 weeks and they said yes. I don't have my appointment till Tuesday (38+4) so hoping that I will get it :)

Thank you. I'm hoping so! I don't want to be induced and tbh I'm just fed up now constantly in pain just want my baby here. I hope you get yours xx

I asked at 38 weeks and was told not till 40 weeks (this is my 4th 😩) so will very much depend on your midwife I think

Oh jesus 😭 I think it was only discussed cause of the low papp-a but luckily tm it doesn't seem to have affected us so will see x

I have low papp-a also and being induced at 39 weeks, there was mention of stretch and sweep but nothing got confirmed to me Other than the induction date and time, so i think I’ll ask midwife this week, good luck with yours! x

Have you had growth scans too? All scans etc have come back okay so not even sure if they still want to induce but guess I should know more tmro. Had one of those days and just over thinking and want her out now! I hope yours goes well!! Xx

I know what you mean it’s such a nervous time I get anxious every time I go now it’s just the unknown of everything I guess but we can do this 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Yes I had a growth scan couple of days ago and he had dipped so that’s why they booked me in for induction now xx
