Can I say no to stretch n sweep??!

Question

I have a Dr appointment next Wednesday and they are wanting to do a membrane stretch n sweep to start being induced early. However, it's my father in laws funeral on the following Thursday and therefore not keen to have the sweep done. Do I have a right to say no to the dr under these circumstances??!

Answer

Sweeps are only effective in about 50% of women. I had mine swept four times with no results. Tell them no if you don't want it.

Answer

After 2 days of mine I went into labor

Answer

You can absolutely say no.

Answer

I had a membrane sweep a week before I actually went into labor. I don't really know that it for things "moving". You can always say no if you don't want it.

Answer

Tell them your concerns and have a conversation about it. Unless there's something major going on, they'lol probably just plan it for after the funeral.

Answer

Unless there is a life threatening issue (ie pre e or low fluid) you can always say no!

Answer

Of course you can say no!

Answer

Yes you do have a say in what they do to your body. You can refuse the membrane sweep
