What’s a sweep test? Do you mean a swab and a speculum ? If so that’s fine I’ve had 2. It’s smear test you can’t have where they scrape the cervix x

they most likely checked your cervix to see if it had opened at all, they wouldn’t perform a sweep at this stage. x
oh yeh it was it...
Thankyou for your words... made me relax ♥️

No worries. They just checked the cervix is shut and swab the area with a soft swab for infections. Mine came back with thrush once which I had to treat and strep b another. So I am glad they did it so I know I need antibiotics for labour. Don’t stress they won’t do anything they shouldn’t. X
