I'm in the south west of the U.K. and wondered how long the midwife/hospital let you go over due before doing a sweep of inducing?ive heard its 14 days so 42 weeks?is there any reason they would do it sooner?im just over 38 weeks so not there yet but majorly stressing out about labour!its my second child and my daughter started coming at 39 plus 3 and finally arrived 1 day before her due date. I know they say your second can come earlier but I have a feeling this one won't. Thus one is also a boy and I keep being told boys are generally late?he us measuring above average. At just over 36 weeks was measuring nearer 38 weeks not sure that makes a difference. With my first I also tried every method known to get her to come by due date as was so sick still as am I this time. So not sure if any of those methods maybe helped I.e raspberry leaf tea& tablets, sex, hot curry, clary sage oil inhaled and rubbed in bump (not doing that this time as sure made contractions ten times worse and prolonged labour!)sorry for essay lol
