Im 40+5 too. I have my first sweep due tomorrow, but i dont know if i'll have it done. Then another appt thursday then they will schedule my induction too.hes ready, i can feel the pressure, but im just not in labour, which is hard as having a two year old as well, i just cant keep up :( hopefully our babies arrive soon!!
my doctor wouldn't do a sweep for whatever reason for me. he wanted me to start labor naturally but from the looks of it, I won't be. unless little man decides were going to the hospital today/tonight, instead of the doctors tomorrow. I don't think that'll happen though. I hope our babies come soon too! I know exactly how you must be feeling too.
Really, thats odd. Im not entirely sure how i feel about a sweep though, it seems abit invasive for me, but hes so low and ready, just being stubborn, i think it may just help. Maybe...
Im hoping he decides tonight is the night as i really dont want my appointment tomorrow but i cant see it happening :( hopefully we both have our babies soon. What day are they scheduling your induction for? Or do you not know?
yeah I asked him about it & he flat out said no & said he wasn't going to do anything but induction if I hit 41 weeks, which I will on Tuesday. my appt is tomorrow so they'll schedule it probably for sometime this week I would imagine. I know what you mean about the sweep being invasive but I wanted to try that before being induced just because people say it's more painful & more intense labor.
My second sweep worked for me and now im sat in hospital with my gawjuss bby boy xx
