Personal Experience:
I was pushed into a sweep with my first baby. It was completely unnecessary at 38 weeks.
It did result in labor but not until after 4 long days of cramping and then 48+ hours of labor. (That is to say, my body was not ready, it was simply irritated)
Cervical checks also created many problems for my body. Leading to preterm labor at 30weeks + bed rest.
The hospital system did not see ME and they certainly did not hear me. They saw a first time pregnant mother and much advantage was taken over me.
This is not everyone's story, it's MY story.
Ultimately it led me to homebirth, for which I am forever grateful.
