Can touching the cervix start labor?
I had a membrane sweep (41 weeks) with my midwife today, but I'm not dilated enough for her to do it. Ever since I left, I've been leaking water, and now I'm wondering if even just touching the cervix can kickstart labor?
Just looking for a bit of hope 😭

@Brittany Oh, that's just what I wanted to hear! Thank you so much! 😍 I know everyone reacts differently, but I just want to feel that I won't be pregnant forever, haha.
I hope it all turns out well for you and you meet baby soon ☺️
Can see changes very quickly. I had to go in for monitoring at 36+6 and on examination, cervix was closed. I went for a sweep the day after (consultant approved) and it was open and 1-2 cm x

I had "unsuccessful" sweep at 39+6 and was told they couldn't even get a fingertip in and booked me for a second one a week later. Never went to that one because I lost my mucus plug the day after the sweep and went into labour at 40+2
