I'm 40w+2d now. At my last appointment, I was only 1cm dilated and cervix was still thick. My friend suggested a get membrane sweep. Unfortunately, my OB won't be in for my next appointment so I'll be seen by a different doctor. I called the office and asked a nurse today if I could get membrane sweep. She said that: sure, the OB I'll see next time can do it.
My appointment is in 2 days, I'll be 40w+4d then.
I'm a bit concerned because my first baby was born via c-section 17 months ago, this time I wanna do vbac. My OB said I can't be induced because it increases the risk of uterine rupture..
Has anyone had a membrane sweep before? Especially after c-section? What was your experience?
Did it help start labor and was it painful?
Thanks!
