Hi guys, can i ask my midwife to do a sweep there and then at my next appointment next week when I will be 38 weeks? Or can I ask her to check if I’m dilated, a lot of people seem to have had their cervix checked and I haven’t had any of that and she’s never mentioned it to me 😭 I get horrendous PGP and I’m just wondering if I can ask for either of this at 38 weeks?

If it’s your first baby, they’re unlikely to give you a sweep.

My midwife was adamant that I couldn’t have one as it was my first baby, and they’d like for her to come in her own time! 😭

My midwife said they have to offer them at 38 weeks, but not sure if that's our NHS trust or across the country
