Sweeping membranes

I am 37 weeks and 3 days Friday I go back to the doctor and I will be 37 weeks and 5 days my doctor told me I am 2 cm dilated and my baby is already head down. Can I request my doctor to sweep my membranes because his head being on my pelvic bone all the time and my back hurting so bad at times I get sick is killing me?

It may depend on the doctor but a lot of them won't until after 38 or 39 weeks
