I'm 41 weeks tommorow and seeing my midwife. She said she would offer me a sweep tommorow and then, if it doesn't work, follow it up with another one on Sunday. Her advice was to go home and google it (she's lovely but this has been her advice on every stage of my pregnancy from being rhesus negative to thinking about induction -shes just too busy to give teh information herself!). Have googled it and it seems 50/50 that it works and don't want to put myself through an unecessary uncomfortable procedure if this is the case....or maybe I'm a bit scared of going into labour really quickly and want it to come on its own accord.
Talking about induction dates tommorow as well. Do they usually leave you to go the full 42 weeks before advising induction?Sorry -I know thsi has all been asked before but all I have is google and MN!
