I had a sweep yesterday at 39 weeks. Midwife said I was sort of half open half shut. But she said it wasn’t looking good in terms of him being here soon (she said it in a nice way, she wasn’t being horrible!). I bled quite a bit but that stopped last night.Midwife tried to give me a sweep but she said she'd class it as a failed sweep. I can't help but feel devastated.There was a lot of blood though which she said was normal but it's still happening now. They won't book me in for an induction until 10 days after due date but since they only do 1 induction a day, I have to wait until 13 days past due date.....
I have another booked in for next week the day after my due date. So hopefully that is more successful!
My midwife did say though that sweeps are quite subjective because it depends on how each midwife personally feels the cervix is. Some may think it’s former than others etc.
