Membrane sweep?

Yess doo itt! I was 40 weeks, and 2 days , and they planned to induce me at 41 weeks. I went to my appointment on Friday at 11:30, did the membrane sweep, (In my opinion it didn’t hurt at all, it felt like a cervical check), I went home and started having cramping at around 3:00, and they just picked up, all through out the night… I went to the hospital at 10 am on Saturday at 6cm dilated, and had him at 6:10 😆

It was just really uncomfortable, I did end up going into labour within the next couple days and I was 39 weeks

Hi! I had one on the 11th. I also wanted to avoid getting induced. They checked my cervix and said I was 2cm dilated, but I had been that way for a few weeks with no progress. So I did a membrane sweep at 4pm on monday. I won't lie, it hurts quite a bit, but it only lasted like 10 to 15 seconds. I think it was manageable and I would do it again if I had to. I started feeling light period cramps almost immediately after and at 1am on the 12th I woke up feeling intense cramping, by 4am, I knew we were in active labor and we headed to the hospital. I was 4cm dilated at that point and they admitted me. My little girl was born at 12:08 on the 13th via c section. We gave a vaginal birth a good try, I had dilated all the way to 10cm, without any induction intervention. No folly balloon, pitocin, etc...but she just didn't want to come out. So c section was the only option for us.

Good luck to you. You got this! And no matter what happens, the end result is all that matters. A happy and healthy mama and baby!

I did a sweep at 41 weeks exactly. I think my Dr didn't do it nicely bc it hurt SO much. I'm still glad I did it. I had it done at 9 am and contractions started 5pm that day, and full labor contractions started 1:30pm the following day. I birthed her exactly 12 hours later. I highly recommend it even if you're afraid it will hurt, childbirth is no picnic either. Good luck!!

It was uncomfortable for me. I didn’t get one with this baby, but with my first, I had the sweep and felt contractions that same day. Had my May 2022 baby the next day!

I had 6 with my first and none of them worked. I had one with my second after a cervical check and went into labour 6 hours after.
