So I've seen post about membranes being swept and questions well to share my experience...today I'm 38 weeks at my dr visit my dr swept my membranes I've been having pains and just all around miserable the last 2-3 weeks so she's just trying to help move things along! Well it's my third child and YES it hurts! I about climbed off the table and screamed when she did it....since then I've been having spotting and lots of pains in my back and contractions but not close enough together to say it's labor yet...so I'm just playing the waiting game to see what happens and I'll keep u ladies posted!!
