Membrane sweep

so my doctor doesn't think I'll make it to next Sunday which is awesome but he wants me to get a membrane sweep Thursday.

I don't assume it'll mean labor soon but does it help?

Yup if your body isn't ready it won't work, but it also could, it's a 50/50, get it done you never know

I've been reading mixed things, like pretty Much if you're body isn't ready it won't do much. But last week I was a loose 2cm and 30% and this week I'm still a loose 2cm at 70% and he was shocked so he thinks I won't make it to next Sunday but he wants to give me one anyway

I just wish I knew if it'd work I'm so anxious for Thursday lol
