Membrane sweep

If it triggers labor it’s usually within 48 hours. They don’t always work obviously but you could go back in a few days and have a second one if the first doesn’t work. I’ve heard that those are more successful!?!? For me they don’t hurt but are uncomfortable but I’ve never had one done under 3 cm and that probably helped. You might have some spotting or your bloody show after and expect some cramping even if it doesn’t kick off labor.
@Aubry thank you! Okay. Makes sense. I’m getting so nervous but I’ll power through!!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
@Teela thank you!!! Reassuring on the pain part 🙌🏼
My first time hurt so badly, got it done 4 times with my first (I went to 42 weeks) & with my second my water broke that evening.
@Jessica Ewart omg that sounds awful!!! Well it’ll be just one for me.. if this doesn’t work I’m getting induced on the 1st due to my diabetes. 😩
Just got one done today. I’m still very high and closed so she really had to get in there, it was just a big uncomfortable but it was pretty quick
I had a membrane sweep in the hospital when being induced it wasn't very painful but definitely came with a wtf feeling. I can't say much for going into labor because that was just one of the things they did to induce me
