I had somewhat of a membrane sweep at my midwife appointment this morning, I think? She said something about me being 2 cm and being able to not surpass the inner cervical os? I dunno. Anyway, whatever she did do, hurt like hell and I think I just finally had the mysterious show everyone talks about. Since that appointment (about 8 hours ago), I've been having mild period-like cramps so I'm guessing this is progress! For anyone who's had sweeps in the past, were they successful in helping to jumpstart labor? Or were you still induced? I know everyone's different but some anecdotes might be helpful. Thanks mamas!!
