sweeps before due date?

[Kimbo]

ive just been to the midwife this morning, and my next appointment will be next wednesday, which will be 4 days before my due date.

the midwife said that next week she will try and do a sweep to try and get things moving.

why is she doing this before my due date?

i know it won't always work, but just wondering why she's going to do this 4 days before im due

Mayb she's busy the week you are due... i dunno lol
But why are you complaining your princess could come early if your sweep works

 

[paiges_mummy]

she obviously thinks Leah is ready kim

when I spoke to my midwife monday about a sweep, she said it wont work unless your ready for labour

Great stuff, i had to beg em to do a sweep 2days before mine... not that it worked!! Yey u cud have leah soon

you can say you don't want it if your not happy hun-
but hey it might get things going! they normally dont do one till
your a week overdue so if u get a chance you might aswell,
i'm sure she wouldnt do it if she thought you weren't ready!
good luck

i had mine done today and he said i had no chance of going in 2 labour so god knows where that leaves me for saturday

My Dr did one on me 3 days before I was due - she basically said once you are full term its worth a go
