Routine 40 week midwife appt and sweep

[JJo]

I have my routine 40 week appointment with midwife (at doctor surgery) tomorrow afternoon, I'll be 40+3. Is there a chance that she will do a sweep during my appointment or would she book me in to do it another time? I'm not sure how long it takes?? I presume it can be done at the surgery?

It doesn't take long I had one today just a few mins - all that she does is put a finger inside you and tries to reach inside the cervix and then sweep around the babies head - it is a wee bit uncomfortable but fine - hope your wee one is on the way

she puts her fingers in a tries to touch your tonsils. Doesn't take long and when you go into labour you can accidentally kick her in the face as payback.

Ask if you can have it!

I had it. It was nothing really. I'm 1cm dilated and she could feel baby's head (which I thought was quite amazing!) so I guess good news. She said to give it a couple of days so, along with a 2 mile walk this afternoon followed by a curry, I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
