So far it's done nothing but give me intense cramps but not bad enough to go in:( I was hoping it'd kick start something since I've been sitting at 3cm for three weeks and contracting for a month now:/

I had it done twice now n still nothing. First time I had cramps for two days, second didn't even last 5 hrs. If the body is not ready, it may not work. Good luck with yours!!! Keep us posted.

When I had a membrand sweep with my last pregnancy it didn't do anything. I think it might have made me a little cranky if I remember correctly. But I didn't have my son until 3 or 4 days later. Sorry if that's disappointing news!
