Feeling disappointed

I had a sweep last week because I’m scheduled for an induction next week and I wanted to try and speed up the process. Went back for another today and no change was made, still 1cm and cervix long, so I declined a second one because it was painful.

Looks like it’s an induction again 😫

I’ve had a sweep today and I’ve got one Friday before I have an induction Sunday! I really don’t want an induction again but it feels inevitable 😩

I feel you 😫😫. I guess we know what to expect😂. I’ll do everything in my power this time to avoid that damn hormone drip 🤢

Have they said there’s a medical need for induction at that time?

I had 3 sweeps during my induction, the first didn’t hurt, second did but third didn’t - think it depended who did it. In my experience getting the gel inserted for the induction hurt worse! No idea how but it did. The gel & sweep got me to 3cm stretching to 4cm for my waters to be broken and then everything ramped up!
Good luck, hope it all goes ok for you xx

I’ll be doing the same route I did last time I think. Did you avoid the hormone drip?

yes thankfully I did as my epidural failed and it was painful enough 😂 hope you can avoid it too!
