So yesterday I went to the Dr and he said I was dilated to 3cm and did a membrane sweep. Started having contractions for several hrs but they eventually stopped. This morning I had bloody show and lost my mucus plug. Supposed to be induced Monday idk if I'll make it!!!

Is the membrane sweep like a cervical check or something different? Thanks!

It’s the same concept as a cervical check but instead of just feeling your cervix, they actually reach their finger inside and “sweep” between your amniotic sac and your uterus to separate the membranes. It can make you more likely to go into labor but it doesn’t for everyone

If ur dilated some when ur dr does a cervical check he /she can use there finiger and "sweep" or separate the bag of water from the uterus in hopes of starting labor.
