Membrane sweep?

Question

Any mommas ever had a membrane sweep done to induce labor? If so, did it work to induce? And about how long did it take for labor to start? Thanks in advance!:)

Answer

I had mine swept on a Friday afternoon and my water broke at 12:30am on Sunday. It worked for me for my 1st child.

Answer

I had it done with my first but no labor started for me :/

Answer

I did and had my second child a day later. The only is that my doctor did not tell me he was doing that until after I delivered.

Answer

I'd recommend waiting until at least 40 weeks to do it. I had it done at 41+1. It was uncomfortable, but didn't take very long. I was 3 cm and 70% effaced when they did it. I think it started labor right away--I had an NST about an hour later and they told me I was having contractions, but I wasn't really feeling them. Contractions can be a result of the sweep without ever progressing, so I ignored them for hours. I had my sweep around 10:30 AM, labor got intense around 7:30 PM, and I had my baby at 3:23 AM the next morning.

Answer

I had 3. Gave me a lot of cramps but ended up being induced at 40+3.

Answer

I had 2 after 40 weeks and neither worked. I was then induced at 41+3 which also failed so ended up with a c section at 42weeks. I would totally recommend a sweep tho! It's worth a try

Answer

I did! At about 3 in the afternoon when I was 38 1/2 weeks and then I went and ate green chile, went for a long walk and we were at the hospital by 1030 pm :) baby boy was born at 12 pm the next day

Answer

1st baby - 
Worked within 24 hours. Got bloody show then contractions. 41+2 weeks

2nd baby -
Didn't work at all didn't even dilate me in the slightest. 37+4 weeks
