What is the difference between a cervix check and a membrane sweep?

Question

Im 38+1 and haven’t been checked at all yet. I have a cervical check next week. Is that the same as a membrane sweep? Will it induce labour? What are they checking for exactly??

Answer

Checking your cervix to see if your dilated or effaced.
Membrane sweep is exactly what it says lol they take a finger and literally “sweep” or rub their finger against your membrane. It puts some people in labor and it’s does nothing for others. Everyone is different
