High cervix during stretch and sweep

Rudi • 23. Married. Mother of 2 beautiful girls💖

I am 40 weeks today and went for a checkup.

In my hospital they don't schedule inductions till after 41+5 weeks. So my midwife suggested a stretch and sweep.

She struggeled a bit to reach it at first and said the cervix was still quite high.

She did say it was soft and that I was 2cm dilated and was eventually able to reach it and complete the stretch and sweep.

Anyone else got told their cervix was high but then went into labor shortly after?

This is my 2nd child so I was hoping I would go into labour early this time round as I really don't want to be induced😭
