I had a scan to check everything was ok, then I was offered a membrane sweep which I accepted! It was my 3rd or 4th sweep (forget how many I had in the end.) They also gave me a day for induction, where to report to etc. I was told I probably wouldn't make it as I had a good loss during my sweep. The sweep didn't work!!! Suprise, suprise!!! 4 or 5 days later I went in to be induced!!!

ooo! so its a waste of time setting my sights on my term +10 as the longest i am going to have to wait, so i could really be waiting as long as 14th of feb to have my LO, gutted. xxx

Well you never know you could go before! If you get offered a sweep I'd defo have one! I tried everything but Noah just didn't want to come out he had to be dragged out (literally)!

If you've got a MW appt before ur +10 you could always ask her to do a sweep!

yeah ive got one monday, but its in my house, and she was my friends midwife too and didnt offer her one. can i have one before 39 weeks or would she wait until 40 weeks x

I think they would make you wait until your 40 weeks +, I also want to be induced but don't think I'd be able to

I was told they don't like to leave you more than 14 days as there could be deterioration in the placenta. When i was induced i went to my term +10 appointment on the thursday and was booked in to be induced on the monday. I went into labour on the tuesday morning and had baby in my arms at 3.13 am wednesday. They always prefer to leave you to go naturally if you can but wont usually risk past 14 days up here. (14 days over 40 weeks) they won't do it before 40 if there isn't a medical reason for baby or mum.
