Membrane sweep?

Question

Did it work for you?? My doctor said she will give me one next week (39 weeks) and said we will schedule an induction date then too incase I don’t go into labor on my own, that she doesn’t want me going to far over 39 weeks. What should I expect after having it done? This is my 4th pregnancy, and was never offered this in the past, and haven’t heard of it until becoming active on here.

Answer

It works for some and not for others

Answer

Cramping usually after. My 3rd membrane sweep did the trick and my water broke during. 😂 i was 39&6.

Answer

The reason you have never been offered induction before at 39 weeks is because they changed the suggestion. They use to say it was better to induce after 40 weeks now they say it’s better to at 39 weeks my Ob teaches at a medical college so she keeps me up on all the changes....

Answer

Mine worked my last 2 pregnancies. With my last baby I was 39 weeks and about 1 cm dialated. No contractions before sweep. Had it done before lunch. Walked the pier and stopped for clam chowder,contractions started shortly after. Home to bounce on ball for hrs off and on. By bedtime I was definitely feeling like I was in early labor. Slept off and on. Up at 9am and in the shower. Headed to the hospital  around 10 30 and was 5cm when I got there. Had baby at 3:34 pm. Im 35 weeks and 4 days now, contractions off and on and 1 and a half cm dialated as of Sat. I wish I'd go into labor soon, Im so exhausted. As soon as Dr offers a sweep Im ready!

Answer

I had one for my (now 18) year old son. My doctor did a sweep and stretch. Told me to have sex something about the sperm Helping. She said as long as I followed those simple rules I would have my baby that week and she has never had it not work.

Answer

My second sweep worked. Went into labour that evening 😁

Answer

Is there a reason they dont want you going past 39 weeks?
