membrane sweep

Anyone ever had this done and it worked? I just had one done and was told of baby doesn't come soon I'll be induced on friday. I so don't want to be induced. Btw it was very uncomfortable and painful.

A membrane sweep is a kind of induction,  where your doctor separates the membranes of the amniotic sac surrounding your baby from your cervix.

I never heard of it either until this app. Then my doc told me today what she was going to do and I agreed. Must say I am havin contractions now so I guess its sort of working. Also it pains alot to walk.

It works if your body is prepared for labor, I had one done my first pregnancy, and the next morning I was in labor.
