What’s the difference between cervical check and sweeping?

Question

Cervical check vs. Sweeping?!
What’s the difference??

Answer

Cervical check is just the OB or midwife checking to see your effacement and dilation. 
A sweep starts off as a check but then they use their fingers to sweep around the neck of the womb a few times to separate the membrane from the cervix. Both can be uncomfortable but I think the sweep is painful.

Answer

I just had the sweep yesterday and it’s just a pinching feeling. It’s not fun or exciting but I wouldn’t say it’s painful. It’s kinda like a Pap smear to be honest
