Will my midwife offer me a sweep at my 38 week appointment?

Question

I know this may differ from each midwife practice but I’m just curious, and I know baby will come once she’s ready. 
I have my 38 week appointment next week, and I have no concerns about this pregnancy and no health issues, baby is measuring small but she’s still healthy. I am very very very very very stressed but it is manageable. Will my midwife offer me a sweep, or if I request one how likely is she to say yes?
I want my girl in there as long as possible but I’m honestly so drained.

Answer

I don’t think so. My understanding is that they offer it from week 40.

Answer

I had mine booked for my due date at my 38 week appointment

Answer

Depends I had mine 4 days before due date but that was because of a lot of factors, I was high risk, loosing water (waters hadn’t broke, and they still don’t know why my water was going less) 
But I also got booked to be induced on my due date again because of many factors. But the normal “text book” rule is not until your full term

Answer

No, they shouldn’t offer before your DD

Answer

My sister had one Friday just gone, they only really offered it to her because she has been in a lot of pain the last couple of weeks and they still made her wait a week after her due date before doing it because they wanted him to come out by himself. Still no luck she’s being induced On the 26th if he’s still not here, I hope he comes soon first time auntie 🥰 our babies will be in the same year of school 🥰🥰 xx

Answer

They won’t do it that early. I had a sweep at 39 weeks and my daughter then came 3 days early. It’s generally down to each midwife if they do or not but they won’t do it that early

Answer

My midwife refused to give me one until I hit 40 weeks both my girls measured small and even when I asked at 39 weeks and 4 days she still said no as they aren't aloud to

Answer

They will only offer you one on your due date or as close to that as possible, I went at 39+5 and she said she would give it a go,

Answer

No you won’t get it till your over.
