I have my second sweep today, first was last Wednesday and I was 1cm- didn't have much cramping or spotting afterwards compared to what I was expecting!! I have a different midwife today so will be interesting to see if it's any different with someone else 😊 and induction booked for tomorrow morning so fingers crossed this sweep gets me going today!!x

I had a sweep last Wednesday and it was intense but consultant could feel the cervix shortening and softening but not ready. I’d had some cramping the rest of the day but no luck. Second sweep was last Friday, consultant said not much had changed at all but the sweep was easier to do, I was so disheartened that nothing had changed but it triggered labour! I had cramping the rest of the day, but I thought it was similar to the Wednesday and by 9pm that evening I had regular contractions. From what I read it only increases chances of spontaneous labour by 10-20%. It’s hard to know if it’ll work and even more confusing that it seemed as though nothing has changed and yet it still triggered labour so I would go in with an open mind and hope for the best. Wishing you all the best xxx

Good luck 🤞🏻🍀

I had one last week, but was only 1cm dilated. Went for my 2nd today and midwife had said things were much softer and I was around 2/3cm. I've had some cramping today, so we'll see how things go. If it doesn't help got an induction booked for next Friday! Would strt with three ballon! Hope it goes well for you!
