I had my sweep at 12 today , I was 1cm dilated with a soft short cervix , I’ve been having a lot of period cramps etc since so 🤞🏼mumma that we will have our baby’s with us in the next few days!
Honestly sometimes it works for pregnant women however sometimes it doesn’t, my midwife said it depends if your baby is ready and your body is ready for labor xx

I've had 3 sweeps now - weds, fri and today. My cervix is still posterior about 1cm but can be stretched to 2cm and is soft
I've had period cramps and nausea after each of my sweeps but no labour yet.
I honestly think it depends if your body's already mostly ready or not x

I had my sweep today aswell 2cm and my cervix is soft, short and open. She could feel babies head and said my waters were bulging. Since my sweep ive had period pains, backache and pressure and just had what looks like part of my show on tissue i think 🤷🏼♀️ really hoping i go into labour i think theres no real way to know though it just depends what our bodies decide to do and if they are ready x
