Hi all , had a sweep today 38+4 . Scored 3 on bishops scale . Medium cervix , posterior 1cm dilated and 2.5 long ( sounds technical!) not favourable for induction this week so booked for 40 weeks .

That was about 1.30pm and have been having tightening since then and now 5pm . Do you recon they are at BH? Not had at all in the whole pregnancy. Third baby

Can things change that quick from sweep ...
