When should you ask for membrane sweep?

Question

Answer

I didn’t ask for one until week 40 but even then my midwife couldn’t do it because I wasn’t dilated at all 😭😭 my daughter came 6 days later anyway

Answer

I've just had one at 37+2 depends on the size of your baby and if you're high risk.
Your midwife/care provider will make the decision if its good for you or not.

Answer

Never? Baby will come when he’s ready. Membrane sweeps are unnecessary and can lead to complications with labor resulting in more invasive procedures.

Answer

My doctor told me she would do my membrane sweep at 37 weeks. It’s my second vbac and she wants baby to be smaller rather than bigger since I can’t seem to push out a big baby
