Will cervix checks cause labor?

Question

I had a cervix exam today and it was really rough, it felt like she stuck her entire hand up my vagina and she tried to perform a membrane sweep while doing the cervix check, she said I was 1cm dilated and baby is still high but ever since I had it done I can barely walk, like literally. I’ve been having a lot more pressure than usual in my lady area and butt area and I’m spotting now... feels like I’m leaking fluid too now 😧

Answer

It’s illegal for them to preform a sweep without your permission. I would not allow any more cervical checks.
They are not necessary and dilation before labor means literally nothing. You are not required to dilate until labor. Anything before labor does not mean you’ll go early or have an easier delivery.

Answer

Cervix checks and sweeps are different though,. Sweeps are pretty much meant to help things along, while cervix checks just let you know where you are at.

Answer

I could definitely tell Tempe difference between my checks and the sweep I had done. For the sweep, i could feel her fingers going around and like she was putting one on top of the other. Kinda hard to explain but I definitely knew it was different! Now I'm not sure if it's like that for everyone, but hopefully that helps!
