Membrane Sweep Details?

Question

Hi ladies. So I’m 38w today, FTM, 1cm dilated, cervix is still posterior. My doctor said we could do a membrane sweep next week if I wanted. Not really sure what to do. Any experiences, advice, pros, cons? All the details please!

Answer

Depending on if your cervix is still posterior or not if it is I wouldn’t because it does hurt because it’s still so far back. If the position of it has changed I would!

Answer

I had 2 membrane sweeps with my first pregnancy. I was already 3cm both times and my cervix was thinned, but the sweeps did nothing for me to promote labor. 
In comparison though, my sister had a single sweep done at 38 weeks after only being 2cm and it sent her into labor that night 🤷‍♀️ I don't remember it being too terribly painful but everyone reacts differently to it!

Answer

Cons it hurts like hell and could give you an infection especially if you have GBS

Answer

I had 2 sweeps with 1 out of 4 of my kids. Doesn’t hurt just a bit uncomfortable, went into labour day after my second sweep

Answer

I had mine today  I was 2-3 cm 50% effaced. He stripped mine since I’m having elective induction next wed at 39 weeks . My cervix is far back so it was very painful lol I was running. Nothing has happened n I had it at 2:40 pm . I had  a sweep with another pregnancy it caused me to be crampy that’s it. But this one I feel fine no cramps at all

Answer

I’ve had it done with two out of my 5 babies. One time it was extremely painful, the other time just a bit uncomfortable. Neither time did it start labor. My sister has had it with all 3 babies and delivered that night each time. 🤷🏻‍♀️
I would say might as well try, if you are ready and wanting to deliver. 😊

Answer

I JUST had mine done not more than an hour ago so I can’t say as to if it works yet but for me it was not painful at all.
