Cervix check

Georgia

I’m 37 weeks 1 day and had my cervix check today at the hospital as I thought my waters had gone (luckily it wasn’t) the midwife said my cervix was long and closed. I’m due to get a sweep when I’m 38 weeks 2 days. Would this effect it ? Would I still be able to get it done ? I’m not sure what she meant by long.

With my first baby I remember her telling me I was short and effaced but I didn’t have a clue then what that meant either, but when I went for my sweep it sent me into labour within 48 hours after it
