Membrane sweep

Hannah

Anyone else get a membrane sweep? I’m 40 weeks today and had one done at my appointment.

Wondering if it’s actually gonna help induce labor or if I’m just getting my hopes up 😂

Just got one done today at 38+6 and all I feel are slight period cramps but no real contractions.

It can help, but ultimately baby won't come until they're ready.

I had one at 38 weeks and it didn't do anything. My 39 weeks appointment is Thursday so ill do it again. Both my closest friends and my sister in law had membrane sweep for weeks 37,38,39,& 40 and they didn't work for any of them.

It worked with my first!! With my second (I had her today-induced) I have lost count how many sweeps I had and my god they did not work or help!!!It’s pure luck!! Lots of walking and squatting, bouncing on ball for the next 24/48 hours to give the best chance of working!! good luck!!

It can help if your body is already ready. Stay as active as you can.
