membrane sweep

[encee1126]

I'm 34wks5days , no rush in getting baby out but was just wondering when is the earliest you can get a membrane sweep? I'm a FTM and was also wondering if it worked for any of you? Also if it worked,  how long after the sweep did you go into labor?

I read that about group b strep too. They say if ur baby isn't ready to come out when they do the sweep then he wont. but I'm hoping since i'm passed my due date it will work.

I have herd of ladies going into labor 48 hrs after, I had my swept at 38 weeks and my daughter wasn't born till 41 weeks! I had to be induced

I have read that it you are Group B strep positive you should not have a membrane sweep.

I looked it up on the internet because I got my membrane sweep today. It said you don't get an infection from having a sweep but u can if u get ur membrane stripped. I read that most place offer it at the 40 week appointment for ftms. I'm hoping it works cause I ready to have my lil man here. My friend told me today that she a her membrane sweep and her water broke the next morning.

I have an old dr. And he said he dont do sweeps cause it induces infection. So he is inducing me friday. Im 40w4d. You may want to ask your dr.

Ok thanks. Next time I see the dr I'll be 36 weeks. I'm going to ask him when he does them.

my dr wouldnt do any sooner than 37 weeks and he did it today but no labor yet. i have heard of people going into labor 48 hours after and i have heard of people going three weeks having it done and nothing
