I had an attempted sweep at 39+4 and was closed. Got another tomorrow at 40 exactly to see if any change
aw good luck 🤞🏼

Yep I was 40+1 yday and had a failed sweep 😔 so disappointing

40+1 today and had a failed sweep yesterday. It’s so annoying when I see all these babies coming early but I keep telling myself she’ll come when she’s ready 🤰🏽

Yep 41+3 and cervix still closed. In hospital for an induction xx
when are you due to be induced? I’m booked in for Saturday x

I’m being induced anytime now xx

I asked for a sweep at my 39 week appointment. My cervix was closed but my midwife said don’t be disheartened as my babys head is low and my cervix is soft she massaged my cervix and said I can have another one at my next appointment on Thursday. Since then I had bloody dark brown red mucous show so we shall see if it has helped

They said this to me when I went for a sweep at 40 weeks said it failed and cervix high and closed! Came home cried and next day I went into labour!!😂
so they did do a sweep, your cervix wasn’t closed?

No they attempted one and she said can’t do it cervix is closed go home come back in a week and I literally went home and went into labour that night 😂 shows how quickly things can change!
No wayyy!
I’ve felt really achy down below and since having the examination where they’ve said my cervix is closed, I’m literally bent over double. I can’t walk properly, I am so uncomfortable.
I feel okay when I’m lying down but to walk is the most discomfort I’ve been in 9 months and getting the odd period pain coming and going! X

Success on the second sweep! Cervix was open and she managed to do a sweep and felt baby’s head which is weird to imagine!
