Anyone went in to labor after a sweep?

Hi I'm 38+4 weeks and my midwife gave me a sweep today but before she did it she said I was in early labor already and I'm 2cm dialated. Ive had cramps and spotting since. Has anyone went in to labor after a sweep or has anyone gone over?

Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated.

My little girl was 3 dilated from 40 weeks after 3 sweeps and still 15 days over due with an induction so it didn’t work for me. Tomorrow my rainbow baby is getting evicted lol so I’ll see his beautiful face soon !

I wish you the very best, try walking up and down the stairs side ways and bouncing on ball if you have one or rocking on all fours xx
