Membrane sweep- did it work for you?

Question

If so...

How far along were you?
Were you already dialated or effaced?
How long after the sweep did you go into labour?
Any regrets?

Answer

I had it done with my second at 40 wks on my due date and it didn't hurt. It put me into labor within 2 hrs. Had my baby that night. Worth a shot!

Answer

I've had tons of friends do this and they say the pain is soooo bad as it never worked for any of them. I know that's one thing I won't be trying, just because im scared of the pain lol.

Answer

They did it with first and had contractions within two hours and baby before end of night

Answer

Had one done at 38+5 and I was only dilated a fingertip, had contractions for 24 hours and lost my mucus plug then nothing. Had a second sweep done at 39+5 and I was 2-3 cm that time and I only cramped for a few hours. Finally went into labor at 40+3 and had her at 40+4.

Answer

I had membrane sweep at 37 wks with my first. Sure enough at 39 wks I delivered her 😁

Answer

Very painful cramps. Didnt jumpstart my labor. Had her two weeks later on her due date. Im not doing it again for this preganncy. He will come when he is ready even tho it sucks

Answer

38 weeks, 5cm, 56% effaced at my OB appointment had a sweep and my son was Earth Side in two hours. Second time, 34 weeks induced do to low amniotic fluid- cream, 2cms, swept, 3cm, swept and had my waters broke with a stretch and sweep, baby born in 3 hours- that whole process was maybe 6 hours total.

Answer

With my first I had one done at 39 wks (it was painful but very fast), I lost my mucus plug that night and two days later labor started. Had my son at 39+6 (4 days after membrane sweep).

Answer

I'm 38+5 and had it done today. I'm already sitting at 7 cms lol so I'm hoping this works. I've had alot of cramping but no contractions as of yet. I found the cervical check this time very painful but the sweep itself wasn't that bad and was very quick.

Answer

I had it done with my second child twice. Once at 38 wks and then again at 40 wks. It never hurt and the second time it actually worked. I had him the next day
