Membrane Sweep

Meg

Last week (at 38+4 weeks) , my midwife tried to strip my membranes but couldn’t. She said I was at 1 cm & my cervix was still a little too high.

Today (at 39+5 weeks) , she said I was almost to 2 cm & I’m 60% thinned. She said baby’s head is very low & in the right position & she was able to do the sweep!

With my first, the doctor never did a sweep, so I’m just curious what everyone’s experience is with having one done?
