Membrane sweeps?

Question

Are these something your doctor offers you? Mine has never brought it up and I’m 39+3. Or do you mamas specifically ask for them? 
Wondering if it’s worth asking my doctor for. I was 2cm and fully effaced at my last appointment. My next appointment is this Friday and I’ll be 40 weeks exactly 🤔

Answer

My midwife offered to do one today bc I’m past 40 weeks now and have been having prodromal labor. There really isn’t any need to do one before the 40 weeks🤷🏻‍♀️ you could probably ask to get it done at your next appointment though. But I should warn you it’s quite uncomfortable and there is no guarantee it will actually work

Answer

I asked my midwife she wont do it until 39weeks which is the 19th i'm being induced that day so she said she will do it Friday to see if I go into labor on my own this weekend 🤞🏽

Answer

With first baby, doctor offered to do it on the due date at my usual appointment (and it worked for me, I was at the hospital about 6 hours later). She mentioned doing the same this time, if baby doesn't come sooner on her own.

Answer

I asked my doctor. She said she will do it this Friday at 39 week appt... if she can get to where she can. Depends on if you’re dilated I believe..
