yay!!! there is finally an end in site girls!!! i asked to be induced coz of all this pain im having and funnily hes said ok and that in 2 weeks being the 1st of september they will do i sweep and strech? check how favorable my cervix is and if its already favorable look at breaking my water :) yay but bubs head is still high so would have to be a controlled arm so doesnt end in cord prolapse!
anyhow who has had a stretch and sweep before? whats it like and does it work?
midwife also sugested to try a laxative and get DH to put his finger thre my cervix and move it around to get things going before hand,
im just glad there is now an end insite he was shocked the scan pics came back that bub is already so big he now understands the pain im in!
yay!

Just the words controlled arm freaks me out.  Never had it done, im glad your dr agreed to what you want, good luck and keep us posted.

I have had this done it hurts, and I've never personally had it work (all four previous pregnanies they tried it more then once); usually you cramp for about 24 hours and I always bled from at as well...but other ppl I've heard have had good luck with this. You're almost there! At least they agreed to an end date!
