Aa
GOT A MEMBRANE SWEEP TODAY
Had a membrane sweep done around 12pm...if I don't go into labor on my own I'll be induced tomorrow morning!!!!! Finally gonna see my baby boy!!
You said exactly what my brain tried to type lol! Thanks I hope it works too!
They strech the cervix and sweep out the mucus plug as much as they can. It is uncomfortable but usually doesn't take long. I hope it works for you. :-)
It's basically the doctor uses their fingers and try to separate the membrane from your cervix. My doctor said he swept the neck of my womb. I have to children and it's the first time I ever heard of it. A lot of people said it hurts getting it done, but it didn't hurt for me.
Sorry if this is stupid question but what exactly is a membrane sweep? I've had two babies years ago but can't remember that at all
My first labor was about 24 hours. My second was no longer than 8 hours. I'm already 3cm and 50% thinned out. So praying this was is faster.
How long did your first 2 labors take?
Yes it was my first sweep. I was induced with my first and second children. Just waiting now.
Congrats!! :). Was this your first sweep?
