Ya i got mine today she said i was 2cm and she felt baby's head even though it was still  a little high. She said i probably will spot. Ive been sitting on my exercise ball and going  to go for a walk later and  an my house we will see if it starts anything. I am due in 4 days as well... crossingmy fingers for u :) just try and keep active

I see a lot of posts about membrane sweeps- are these optional or something? My doc hasn't even mentioned them so I'm curious is all

I went through 3 membrane sweeps with my first.  One a week for 3 weeks. I went into labor 2 days after the last one

I had one with my first but i was already contracting and 3cm dilated..it got me to 7cm within an hr of having the sweep..however im now expecting baby no4 and had a sweep on thursday afternoon..i was told by my midwife that i am completely thinned out and was already 1cm dilated..she did the sweep and said im now 2cm nearly 3 dilated..after i got some heavy irregular cramping and then nothing!! Gutted:( i honestly thought it would work with been baby no4..been for long walk and tried nipple stimulation last night and that has had no affect either..also my sweep didnt hurt one bit and i didnt lose anything afterwards either

I had one with my son on a Friday, on Sunday evening I was labouring. It just depends on the person. I've known a woman to have it done twice. Have sex and go for a long walk. Clean your whole house, or do something that makes you laugh super hard. As stupid as that sounds laughing can start contractions.

I had one yesterday at 9am and was crampy but no spotting at all and now nothing at all ; (
