Sweep

How soon after a sweep can you go into labour? Also if doctor booked me in for induction in 2 weeks why have I had a sweep today? X

I also had my son within 24 hours after getting my membranes stripped and had an induction date. I was moving non stop that day so that may have sped up the process. :)

I was full blown into labor within 10 hours on my second kid. But my first I had like 3 and still had to be induced 10 days overdue... good luck mama!

They say 24-48 hours you should go into labor or it didn't work, but I have heard stories of women that go into labor four days later. The membrane sweep maybe your doctor's last attempt to let your body go into labor naturally.
