Stretch and Sweep

think it help’s as I was only dilated 1cm when I had one at 41weeks and then went in for a induction few days later and I was 3cm.

I had a stretch and sweep with my daughter at 40 weeks a second sweep at 40+3 and then 3 days later I went into labour spontaneously. It worked great

I had a sweep on Tuesday and I was already about 2cm. I had another sweep yesterday, at around 2pm, I was 4cm. Baby arrived, without any further intervention, 12 hours later. This is exactly what happened with my first as well.

I had 2 sweeps. My second one I was in really early labour without realising (odd contraction here and there so thought it was Braxton hicks) so after my sweep I went into labour about 6 hours after😊. Was in labour for 30 hours after they started but🤣, I didn’t need intervention to get to 10cm. They’re uncomfortable but don’t hurt! I’d recommend if you want to go into labour the more natural route, it’s worth a try!! X

I had one sweep at around 12.30pm and by 5am the next morning I was 8cm. It wasn’t a very pleasant experience but it’s quick so I don’t regret having it!

I went in for a sweep at 40+4 which was useful to bring my cervix forward into the right position, but the experience for me was quite uncomfortable and kind of killed my oxytocin levels. I’m glad I had it done, but I didn’t go for any further sweeps after that. I found sex was a good natural way to instigate early labour after the first sweep.
