    Personal experiences wanted: stretch and sweep!

    Had a stretch and sweep today, cervix is 3cm, head fully engaged and membranes bulging.
    Just wondering what experiences others have had with the stretch and sweep when the cervix is ripe. I know others have had one when it's not favorable and achieved nothing so just wanted to hear from you who are similar to myself

    I was 2cm a ripe on my due date with DD1, Ob did the S&S at lunch time and said "see you later" nope... 3 days later i went in for induction at my request.. but induction was one application of gel, no drip, 6 hrs sleep, 3hrs active labour, baby.

    Had a stretch and sweep at about 2pm when I was 41+1, contractions started at about 8:30 that night and DS was born 9:30 the next morning. I was 4cm dilated, 3/5 engaged and membranes bulging also.

    Good luck, hope it works for you!

    I had one at around 42 weeks with DD. I was 1cm.
    Labour started the following afternoon.
    Hope your baby is here soon!
