one thing tho on the back of my notes it has a week calander which the mw circled to say where i would have my appointments and when, 40 weeks is circled for her at the surgery and 41 wks is circled hospital, so now i'm really confused!!!
Evening Hun, in my area the community MW doesn't actually do sweeps, so if I had made it to 41 weeks I'd have had to go to the hospital for a MW there to do one. That might explain your notes?? I reckon they will then book you in for an induction while you're there.
She shouldve covered everything Hun. I saw a different MW at nearly every appointment and they always covered all bases.
I guess just make sure you have a load of questions written down for the next app.....if you do want a sweep you could always try crying!! No MW wants a stressed pregnant lady!
I know without BnB id know nothing!! To be honest I think most midwives tend to presume we just know stuff!!
A sweep is still natural Hun.....all they'll do is check your cervix to see if your dialted at all, if you are then they try and get things moving.
It's prob a lot better to have 1,2 or even 3 sweeps than have to have an induction.
It's going well thanks, just found out I'm moving to labour suite very very soon
