Failed Sweep

Feeling pretty bummed…I had to be induced with my daughter 3 years ago at 41w5d and I was hardly 1cm when I went in. Yesterday I went to my appointment at 39w1d and was told I am 2cm and 60% effaced, I was ecstatic to hear that. The midwife said we could try a sweep but was on the fence about it working. Sweep was done around 1pm so it’s been about 33 hours with no sign of anything happening. I was so pumped but now feeling so defeated and will just wait until my induction next Wednesday. I was really looking forward to experiencing going into labor naturally and not by induction this time.

It took about 3 days for me to go into labor after my sweep.

I feel this, I had a sweep done at my last appointment on Wednesday last week. I did lose my mucus plug and had a “bloody show” but it was only old blood so idk if that counts. This all happened on Saturday, so 3 days after the sweep. I also had inconsistent contractions for a couple of days. Then it all stopped and nothing came of any of it 😔 I was 1 - 1.5 cm dilated, and baby’s head was station 0 too.My next appointment is tomorrow, idk if I want to have another one or not 🤔
