Sweep Experiences ?
40 + 4
Had a sweep today after feeling pressured to do something due to elevated blood pressure previous 24 hours and admitted to hospital but still refusing induction (although that’s what they’re really pushing for) which would not be discharged from hospital if started
Was apparently 2cm & 6 Bishops Score at sweep late this morning
Have since come home(driven via bumpy roads), had a spicy curry, massage and bath with clary sage, sex and pineapple - so giving it full effort 😂
Praying for something to happen naturally, next have a review of blood pressure (on meds) on Saturday and know they will be trying to push induction but I want to hold out til at least beginning of next week, maybe get another sweep instead
I’m mourning my water birth plan in midwife led unit so looking for positive sweep experiences / stories where you might have done similar things to me and baby started doing its thing naturally ….
Sorry this is also kind of just a download after an overwhelming couple of days!
