Should I get my membrane swept at 40 weeks 5 days?

Question

Answer

I had my membranes swept with all 3 of my kids. My midwife wouldn't do it until I hit "full term" but I had it done at my first appointment that she was willing. Baby 1 waited almost a week after membranes were swept. Baby 2 was born the next morning. Baby 3 was born 36 hours later. If you're over being pregnant and your doctor/midwife will do it... I say go for it! You won't go into labor unless your body is close anyway. Good luck no matter what you decide!

Answer

It's really a personal choice as to how impatient you are getting! I wanted it as soon as 38 weeks but only because my baby was already over 8 lbs. unfortunately I have yet to be able to get one (cervix has been closed). Hopefully I can get one on Monday at my next appointment if haven't given birth by then 😎

Answer

Had mine swept at 39+7 and baby came 39+9! :)
