Did you have a Strech & Sweep... and did it work?

[raffy]

i had a S&S at 40 + 8, i had been having pre labour pains for a few weeks and the S&S def ramped them up but didnt actually end up inducing labour. i would def give it a go next time for sure Good Luck Babe, hope it works for you coz being overdue sucks lol

Yes (at 39 weeks) and no it didn't work. (Birth at 41+1)

I was supposed to have a stretch and sweep today too, unfortunately I was bumped because someone who was supposed to be induced last week and didnt want to be, decided that she would be this morning. So I never got one Hope you have success with yours and you'll be holding your bub before you know it.

Thanks for all your replies.. it's good to hear others experiences with the S&S.

I guess I just have to wait and see!

I had 3. First at 41 weeks, then 42 weeks then 42+2 - still was induced at 42+3 but I think it helped loose my plug at 42+2....

I didn't know they would do it so early!
I want one now but don't think my MW would do it, even though I am 39 weeks tomorrow. Maybe I should ask if I am "ripe and ready" enough!

I was surprised they said they would do it... they told me they don't usually do it until EDD has been and gone.

DH works away from home and flies in tomorrow for 6 days only, unless the baby arrives in which case he can start his paternity leave. Otherwise he flies back out and will probably miss the birth. I think she understood how important it was to us that he be here so wants to help kick things off whilst he's home. She did say however that if my cervix was still firm and closed she wouldn't do it, there would be no point... and even now there's no guarantees it will do anything at all. Now I just have all my fingers and toes crossed it does something, anything.
