It is normal to give birth after EDD. My gynae also allowed me to wait for baby’s cue but I had to be induced at W40D3 due to low fluid. Never done any sweep or anything at all. Thankfully for my case, from admission till labour only took 6 hours.
Things to note is that
1) Membrane sweep may not work for everyone.
2) If you choose to be induced, each pill will last 6 hours and a maximum of 3 pills will be given. If you (touchwood) did not manage to dilate within the 3 pills, you will have to undergo E-Csect.
You can try exercising or having sex to see if you can dilate faster.
Good luck! 😊
