Sweep. Did it work for you.

Had a sweep this morning and my doctor said it gives me an 80% chance of going into labor in the next 24-48 hours. Im curious as to how accurate the 80% is. I'm not feeling to optimistic after reading through quite a few sweep threads on here.

mine at 39 weeks didn't work and i was induced 6 days later but i still think its worth a go and i'd do it again

If you're 'ripe' (excuse the expression) then I think it can work very quickly. I had one after getting niggles at 40 weeks with my fourth, (she pulled my cervix forward too-not nice!) and I went immediately into labour and had her an hour and a half later.

Thanks. Im 3cm dilated, 70% effaced very soft and midline. Getting little pains but nothing really real ATM.

Yes! I was 3cm and had a sweep, went to the loo 5mins later and then went straight into labour.
Although I dont know anyone else that has had a sweep work for them :/
