Have you or your doctor considered inducing your labor?

A membrane sweep is when the midwife puts her finger up your vagina and separates the cervix from your water sack. This apparently sets off a hormone to naturally induce labour. It's abit uncomfy to have done but supposed to be very effective. Im still hoping it works for me as it can take 48 hours to release the hormone I go back tomorrow to b checked again xx
