I had membrane sweep at Week 39 and Week 40, walked 8000 steps per day, and baby still refused to come out 😅 I was induced and gave birth 41W+1. Sometimes baby just doesn't want to come out yet. I think the walking helps though, my labour was 8H long even though I was induced. My gynae was expecting it to take at least 16H.
