Membrane sweep??

Question

What is a membrane sweep ?

Answer

A membrane sweep is a way of trying to bring on labour to avoid going too overdue. It'll be the first step your midwife or doctor offers, before other methods of induction, to get your labour going.Your midwife or doctor will carry out the procedure. During an internal examination, she will try to insert a finger into the opening of your cervix (neck of your womb) and then gently but firmly move her finger around. This action should separate the membranes of the amniotic sac surrounding your baby from your cervix. This separation releases hormones (prostaglandins) which may kick-start your labour.
