hiya I had a sweep with my son, they examine you to start off with to see if your dilated or not and then ask you if you want a sweep if so...

they ask you to put your hands clenched up in a fist :? and put them under your bump and raise you bum off the bed slightly :| , then go around the babys head with 2 fingers and lubricant I might add!!! :shock:

I wouldn't say it hurt i would prob say it was more uncomfortable than anything! And hopefully if baby isn't being naughty it will start the little one off, :pray:

I had my sweep on a tuesday at 41 weeks pg and had him thursday morning! I would defin have one again if I had to with next pg!

But if you would like to let nature run it's course then tell them and they will let you go another week i think but ask if your worried! :wink:

hope this explanation helped. :D
