[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a reasonable plan, OP. A lot of folks swear by the sweep, but keep in mind there’s a small risk that it will break your water but labor won’t start (so you’ll end up with a full induction anyway). Ask your OB about this. Personally I declined the 39 week sweep with my second as I was GBS positive. My practice would have done it, but I didn’t want to risk infection. Your doctor is right about decreased c-section rates with induction (read about the ARRIVE trial), but a lot of this depends on how your practice operates and their (and your) patience for how long it can take. Especially for a first-time mom. As fast as big babies, anecdotally I have seen OB and ultrasound predictions turn out pretty accurate for some and wildly off for others (as in the baby was not big). Good luck!! [/quote]
