How soon after you had it did it work?
I had #2 this week - last week was uncomfortable, but nothing but braxton hicks that night.
This time it hurt like a bitch, I had spotting and lost more of my plug, but nothing yet.

@babycanuck: I think if it's gong to do anything it happens in 24-48 hours. Good luck!

Well, take this with a grain of salt because I was 41+4... But I had a sweep around 2:30 in the afternoon and my water broke around 6:45pm the same day. Baby was born early the next morning!

It worked right away -- felt contractions shortly after I left the doctor's office and went into labor that night.

Had a sweep (my second and this one was violent!) at 2pm on 40+5, went into labour around 11pm and had my son before noon on 40+6. The first sweep (at 40+2) didn't really hurt and did absolutely nothing. Good luck!

DS- sweep at 4pm of my due date. When into labour the next morning at 5am and DS was born at 7am that same morning.
DD- sweep at 3:30pm, active contractions started literally as I was leaving the carpark. Went to the hospital about 7pm that night. She was born the next morning after not the best labour.
For some they work, for others no. Good luck!!

I went into labor about 24 hours after my sweep. My midwife said she was pretty aggressive while doing it and it worked! Baby came about 30 hours after.
