How early can doctors sweep membranes ?

Question

Answer

I think they start at 39+1. 
My doctor starts at 40 weeks exactly.

Answer

Mine didn’t offer sweeps until 39 weeks.

Answer

My last dr did mine at 37 weeks (was scheduled to be induced by 39). Hoping my new ob will do the same!

Answer

Every doctor is different- my last one wouldn’t until 39, and my doctor this time is going to next week at my 37 week appointment.

Answer

I think it depends. I am being induced at 38w so my doctor will do a sweep a couple days before. Last pregnancy I was also induced at 38w and doctor did a sweep the day before.

Answer

39 and you have to be dilated almost 2 cm to be able to complete the procedure.

Answer

Usually 39 weeks

Answer

Mine doesn't do them because she says evidence supports that they don't really do anything. But if I ask her nicely she will. Although with my others I had several done starting at 37 weeks and they did nothing for me except hurt.
