My daughter had our 1st grandchild last year and was offerered a sweep-like yourself i'd never heard of it!

Apparently the midwife does an internal examination, sweeping a finger around the cervix to seperate the membrane from around the baby and the cervix., supposed to stimulate the brain into starting labour- for over due mums.

My daughter didnt have it done- couldn't face it!- ended up having an emergency c section, so not sure it would have helped?!

Best Wishes

Not sure of the wisdom of telling a new Mum that it's going to be painful. That is going to create even greater apprehension, I would have thought.

I hope all goes well for them. 2 of my 3 had unusual presentation, but were fine and healthy.
Third one was just a normal birth.

Will await your good news update.
