I don’t think I’m going to do them- from what I’ve read it’s not necessary and they don’t even fully mean anything… if your gonna get induced what’s the point? I’ve heard it feels like your getting an iud and I’ve already had 4 of those- everytime it was hell.. baby will come When she’s ready
Also why you being induced soo early? Could you ask them to move it another week?
@Emma my daughter has fetal growth restriction so they think it might just be better to have her out sooner than later (she’s was a 6 percentile but moved to a 8 percentile baby)which i’m not against getting induced cause i’m in excruciating pain in my groin and bones and ready to have her out 😭
@Lauren i generally agree with you that they're not necessary, but I'm getting induced tomorrow so...it's more of a "nice to know where I'm at" kind of deal. So it definitely depends on your situation and how badly you need to know. They also do them in the hospital anyways when you're being induced/in labor...they need to know the progress of the induction.
@Carissa i agree, it was more for me to know cause i just wanted to know if there was a possibility i might make it before my induction date and my ob said membrane sweep can help set labor for some people not all but looks like i’ll just have to do it all over again next week😭
@Carissa good luck and safe delivery!!🩷🩷
@Niyah Thanks!!! 🥰 And good luck to you in the next coming weeks! We've got this 💪
@Carissa LITERALLY SAMEEEE and im 40 weeks🌚
You don’t have to get check but when you go in the hospital they gone check you.
@Lauren same opinion
I'm 39 weeks and just had my first check today. It was more painful than I was expecting, for sure. All of that just to find out I'm not dilated at all 🫠.
